Analysis of the opening scene of three movies . . .

Seven

The opening scene, the music sounds creepy and gloomy, Then genre seemed as it was horror or a thriller psychological scene.
The background red/brown and black created a picture of the sense of the genre.

Sound; music track was a slow paste and sounded creepy, it grabs peoples attention and the sound track is non-diagetic.


The connotation puts you on the edge, makes you nervous and the words jump out at you, it sounds as if the movies going to be horror.
the editing of the scene we watched had different shots and the focus changes which grabs our attention.


The Iconography:
Cut up pictures which suggested the targets
The scribbling of the face portrayed death
Creating a book which showed a task and the razor blade which suggested an icon very sharp and dangerous.




Delicatessen

The start of the scene was rattling noises which sounded creepy, then the scraping noise made me feel as if something horrid was going to happen, however the zoom in of the shot of the black background looked scary and frightening.
The knife suggesting danger/killing. The set in shows its not in a real world, most of the shots are zoomed in to show a close up of the scene.


The way the man pops up from the bin and he's peaking, with his eyes popping out. He seemed really scared and terrified. The man holding knife and bringing it forward towards him suggested he was going to kill him, the snap shot of the knife ending with the title showed that this film will be horror.


City of god

Then scarping of knife at the start portrays killing/danger, However the tone of music sounds like a adventure. The blood on the plate looked disgusting, looked as if something got killed.
The way the people were running after the chicken showed the paste of chicken was fats so it was hard for them too catch it.
The car came, the chicken was under it, at first it felt as if the chicken got crushed but however it didn't and the guys standing in front took their guns out if the other guy didn't save the chicken then they would have killed him.
At the end the boys monologue felt as if he had to do what the men said and if he didn't save the chicken then they would have killed him which portrayed he was in danger and threatened by the mens.
