This is the movies film ident
which has appeared at the
beginning of the opening
title sequence as this is one
of the conventions that
occur on every movie which
shows the viewer of the film
who the movie was created
by and in this case it was
created by Lion Gate Films.
The way this has been shown
                                              makes it seem like someone has
                                              typed it up on a typewriter and
                                              also with the way it has been laid
                                              out. It uses a white background
                                              which makes it seem quite simple
                                              and     could    connote     purity
                                              however, the purity could be
                                              contradicted with the red droplet.




This image that they have used of the red
droplet being splattered on the floor could
connote some sign of blood or danger.
The way the red droplet
is on the surface makes it
look like it has been
dropped from a height
and the dispersion of
smaller droplets also
supports this idea.




 However, when we see
 the red substance in a
 line, it makes us re-think
 what it could be for
 example, when I first saw
 this, I thought it could be
 paint from a tube.
The image of the large
sharp        knife could
represent danger and
they used a close shot to
show how sharp the knife
actually is.




Whilst the names of the
main characters appear
on the screen, pieces of
fruit are falling down such
as the raspberry. This
could signify that what we
thought was perhaps
blood before could in fact
be something else.
This is point of view shot
where we are able to see
through another persons
eyes. Here we can see food
on a plate neatly presented.
From this shot, we can see
what the images we saw
before actually were; some
sort of red sauce.


Here we can see a grey
surface which looks like
metal. This could represent
cold and insensitive motives
of someone and this may be
linked to the persons name
on screen.
This is a point of view shot of
someone’s food. It showcases a
sharp knife and fork which could
suggest that they are in some sort of
restaurant.



This is a close up of another plate of
food showing how well presented the
food is and that it may be a posh
place.




This is another point of view shot
where we can see a neatly
presented plate of food and clear
glasses.
Here we can see someone
overlooking a bowl of dessert
however when you first look at this
image it looks as if there is a lot of
blood spilled. The person wearing
the black leather glover could
suggest that they are trying to hide
their identity and prevent leaving a
trace of themselves.



We can see people seated at
tables and a waiter walking behind
them. The way everyone is situated
would suggest that they are dining
in a resturant.
The image shows a three different
men dressed in a suit and this
could suggest that the restaurant
they are at is an expensive one
where only the rich would dine.




The shot here is quite unusual as
we can see a blurred out face but
a man seated away from the
camera has been focused on by
the camera suggesting he could be
someone of importance.
This is a mid shot of a man seated
in a restaurant. His facial
expressions suggest that he is
laughing or in a conversation with
someone.




We see the man here again with a
mid level shot who seems to be
looking up at someone either
laughing or talking.
The appearance of this male and
the amount of times he has be
shown would suggest that he is an
important person in the film.
The close up of this guy’s face
could be to show his facial
expressions when he’s talking
and his reactions to the woman
on his left hand side.




This is a mid- long shot of a
group of men who have been
shown throughout the opening
sequence which shows they lay
a large role in the movie and
their facial expressions suggest
they could be discussing
something important.
Here a long shot is used
where we can see an
image of the outside of a
warehouse of some sort
which could be relevant
later on in the movie.




 A mid shot is used inside
 the club to show the body
 language of others in the
 club and also the facial
 expressions so we are able
 to see how they are
 feeling.
In this image we cannot see much
except for darkness but if we look
closely we can see what looks like
a women. The darkness of this shot
could suggest that the setting is
somewhere at night.




Here we can see an male and
female in particular in a club
looking away from the camera. The
director may be trying to conceal
their identities until later in the film.
