Silence of the lamb's By Charlie!



mise en scene:
  • the setting for the opening is in the woods, the women is running through an assault coarse, and by the cloths she is wearing and style of attitude we see there is no threat.
  • she is stopped in her tracks and asked to report to the office. then we change scenes from the dense woodland assault coarse to a large building.
  • again from attitude we know what sort of person she is. she is determined, after tiring on the assault coarse she then ran to the office.
  • non of these elements hint at danger besides the fact of who these people are and what there doing, cleaning guns, exorcising  And working hard.
camera work:
  • for majority of the woodland scene we can see only only one camera movement it is a constant shot, the camera following her and waiting for her when she is climbing the rope wall, making it seem like the audience is running with her. this camera movement works well as it allows the 180 degree rule to be broken but not noticed.
  • then camera remains steady (still in the same shot) and waits for another character to enter the frame.
  • again an extremely lengthy clip shows the camera establishing where she is running to and rolling credits. another effective lengthy camera shot used.
  • the only other variation of shots used is when she is in the building it is busy and the pace has picked up from one long tracking shot to fewer pans and more faced passed camera movements to represent how busy the building is.
sound:
  • the sound used is mainly diagetic, the can only her her feet as she runs, and her breath as she climbs, however loud unorthodox music is used, its alternative and contrapuntal. 
  • when she enters the building the background noise gets much louder. we can hear the people conversing in the background and other little sounds such as the men cleaning their guns and the ping of the elevator.
editing:
  • over all there is little to edit as majority of the sequence consists of two long tracking shots. but fast pace edits occur when travelling through the department.
  • the 180 degree rule is not broken as it is acceptable to overstep the line if its in a continuous track or pan, the is redundant.
