2. The film is opened with a narration of one of
the main characters reading a book to a
dying man. The narration is diegetic and is
paired with a non-diegetic orchestral
soundtrack.
As the shot changes to an overview of the
city, there is a non-diegetic ‘crime type’
soundtrack. This could suggest that later on
in the film there is a crime related activity or
character, creating enigma for the
audience.
3. The first shot the audience is shown is a close-
up of a leaf with rain dripping onto it. This
suggests that the main location is surrounded
by a forest and is stereotypically set within dull
weather,, which in this case is rain.
There is then a medium shot, showing both the
main character and the dying man. This
suggests some sort of isolation which sets an
enigma code.
As this shot is faded out through the use of
smooth transitions, there is then a series of
wide-shots of the city following a bus, which
the main character is on. This sets the scene.
4. The beginning emphasises a very slow
pace, due to the fact that there is a
dying man. Sympathy is created for the
audience.
The pace begins to speed up when the
shot of the bus and the city are shown.
5. Very serious facial expressions.
Set it what seems to be a hospital or an
isolated area.
The lighting is slightly dull to begin with,
but as the scene changes it gets brighter
as it is just the break of day.
