In the opening sequence of Batman the dark knight, the first
shot shows and man holding a mask, it then zooms in giving

the main antagonist is going to be as later on the opening

highlight how high the characters are, it is also
used to highlight an element of danger and the
extent at which the robbers will go to get the
money, it also makes the audience want to carry
on watching the film to see what other elements
of danger they would go through.

3. The use of the close up in shot three, shows what sort of
people the character's are going to be, as the mask used is
quite scary masks, you know that there is going to be some
sort of trouble or violence used by the characters and it makes
you want to know what is going to happen throughout the rest
of the film. Also the use of dialogue, as the two people with
masks on are talking about the joker at the time and who he is
and it makes you want to carry on watching to find out who
the character is.

room and what is going on, it shows one of the
robbers taking a huge amount of money from a large
safe, highlighting how extreme the robbery is and the
extent at which they have gone to get it, and it makes
the audience wonder what is going to happen when
others find out.

5. The use of this action shot shows a bus crashing
through the front of the bank, this shows an
interest to the audience as it gives you an
element of surprise as you don’t know what is
going on and what is going to happen next.

reveals who the antagonist is. It also highlights the
scars on his face and the use of make-up, which
shows danger and mystery of who they are, and
why they are dressed like that, so it triggers the
audience to stay and watch what happens in the
rest of the movie.
