Hurtwood Opening sequence(In studio)

Image
Identity In terms of the mise-en-scene, the colour and props are contributed to the genre of the film. For example, test tubes, beakers usually exist in a biochemical experiment. There are many extreme close up for visual purposes. Background music matches the genre of the moving images very well, fast rhythm and repeat particular chord make the music more"scientific". Also, the colours are saturated which can make people excited. Undeniably, the visual and sound effect is successful in this scene. However, to be honest, there is nothing apart from close up. And there is no clue to show people what is going on and no narrative, it's probably would be difficult for the general audiences to understand and expect the plot.

ON THE INSIDE(On location) The tension of this opening sequence is been greatly built up: -By Camera: Hand held movement to show the unstability and the sense of risky. Point of view, bring the audience into the role Also, there is an interesting clue to attract audience's curiosity that he left the mike on the table. By sound: Digestic sound---- Unlock the door, running from the stairs (build tension) It's a pity that the visual effect is not so perfect , for instance, in the first scene the background is exposure. Also, it's weird to have a little meeting in the kitchen and says "we only got ten minutes". It's more make sense if he says that when they are walking in.
