2. CONVENTIONS
In the opening of the dark knight a number of conventions are used
these include the low lighting and dim lit interior of the bank. And the
grey clouded day outside, this use of lighting seems very sinister and
it is all used to introduced the antagonist who is performing a sinister
bank heist.
3. CHARACTERS
During this introduction we are introduced to the antagonist as he robs
the city bank. This is the inequality caused that the protagonist will have
to resolve later in the film. The antagonist is viewed few times in the
opening scene and when he is they are only quick shots and eh is
wearing a mask with a long cloak. This adds the the indication he's the
antagonist and in building up the tension surrounding this character.
4. MISE-EN-SCENE
the camera shots used in this opening sequence are very fasted paced
and show of only the actions the antagonist and his men are taking in
this scene. When the camera is on the antagonist he is wearing a mask
and doesn’t speck or draw attention to himself until the end of the
scene. This give a larger thrill effect to the audience as throughout the
opening sequence there is one unknown character that is build up by
the other characters who later die in the scene.
