1. Batman: the dark knight
• Masks, suits, bag, using grappling hook
• Bright city, daytime
• Upbeat music
• Everyone enters together, then shoot each other, all talking about a “joker”
unknown character, but is described then when all dead he appears as one
of them
• Tense atmosphere, action packed yet unsure what is really going on.
• Use of low angle looking up at the joker creates sense of importance and
tension
• No text.

2. Seven
• Hand writing text
• Uneasy music, distorted out of beat creates tension
• Flashes of images of hands, newspaper cuttings, pictures, faces,
psychology equipment
• Text flashes, gives crazy feel
• Unsure what is happening, images don’t give a picture of what is too
come.
• Music gets louder and more tense as credits continue.

3. Inception
• Dark vault, envelope switch, guns, action
• Lots of shooting, music starts very up beat with the film
• But tension is created by the confusion of what is happening, not sure
why he shot his partner
• Mentions about “dreaming”
• Lots of explosions and destruction
• Ends with flooding but we see what is happening outside of dream,
unsure why or how it is happening seeing 3 people “Dreaming”
