This is the sub-genre of Crime Thriller.
Sound
-The sound in this starting sequence is in a minor key and is slow which makes you feel emotional and you think about the film and what is going to happen.
Editing:
-The cutting rate is slow which slowly gets quicker as the title sequence goes on.
-The use of typography of the cast is helping to show the larger than life characters who wish to rob the house of the money and the people who are fighting for their lives.
Camera:
-The location setting shots of this starting sequence show the dominant ideology of crime being mostly in the city. This is shown by a montage of long high angle shots looking down on the landscape of New York City.
Mise-en-scene
-The skyscrapers could be signifing the large threat of crime within the city and that a few people are trying to be bigger than the normal routine of life.
Narrative
-There is no narrative in this clip which is strange because there is normally a narritive at the start of a film to introduce characters or a setting.

Interesting! i think the typography on the titles is a great effect which we could incorporate into our piece.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of no narrative as it stands out from other films in this genre- I think it is something we should take into consideration.
