The second thriller opening I looked at was Pulp Fiction, click here to see the opening.
Camera Work
- Over The Shoulder Shot used to give a perspective of what is happening from the actors view, makes the scene more intense.
- Close Up used to establish the facial expressions
- Mid Shot is used through out the opening, to see the body language of the actors
- Low Angle when standing on the table to show their authority over the people in the Diner.
Editing
- Shot reverse shot is used through the scene between the actors to make the audience feel they are watching the conversation
- Slow Cuts are used to keep the pace of the scene, as the scene gets more dramatic the pace of the cuts speeds up
- A Slow Zoom to the face to show the sincerity of the conversation
- Props include cigarettes, mugs and sugar shakers, this helps establish the atmosphere of the 90's Diner as smoking inside was prohibited
- Ringo has a khaki shirt and slicked back hair which represents the 90's time period in outfits. Yolanda's outfit is a plain long sleeved T-Shirt and a necklace
- Ringo's facial expressions are confused and angry but eases up when he talks to the woman, he tends to scrunch up his face out of boredom and frustration but relaxes
- His body language is constantly slouched but at ease, he has his leg up which shows he is a relaxed man
- Yolanda's facial expressions are constantly happy, she is grinning but then contrasts to looking confused at the man's plans
- Her body language is upright with a good posture, this shows she is eager and ready to go
- The settings of the scene is a typical 90's diner with leather seats and the lighting is daylight so bright
- Diner music such as coffee cups clinking and cutlery noises are used in the background of the opening, this helps set the atmosphere of the scene
- Dialogue is the main sound through out the scene as it makes the scene more normal
- Foley is used when the gun is slammed onto the table, this emphasises the importance of the gun
- The sound is calm through out the scene until it gets to when they start to rob the Diner, the pace fastens
