- I have learnt that even in openings when not much happens there are many cuts which show the audience each piece of mise-en-scene and gives ideas into the audiences thoughts of what has happened, why it has happened and when it happened.
- Also the different angles of shots gives the audience different reactions towards certain characters, by having a birds-eye view of the dead man there is no emotional connection with the body and feel no sympathy for this person. But by having a low angle looking up at the man in the suit makes the audience respect him and view his power and control over the situation.
- The quickening of the cutting rate also makes the audience feel tension and anxiety as something is about to happen or be revealed which is enigmatic for the audience and keeps them interested in your opening and thus your entire film too.

ReplyDeleteI realy like this opening, especially the rewind is effective, shows how few shots can be effective however I feel we should do a range of shots to show of what we are capable of.
