2. • Jules Winnfield and Vincent Vega are two hitmen who are out
to retrieve a suitcase stolen from their employer, mob boss
Marsellus Wallace. Wallace has also asked Vincent to take his
wife Mia out a few days later when Wallace himself will be
out of town. Butch Coolidge is an aging boxer who is paid by
Wallace to lose his next fight. The lives of these seemingly
unrelated people are woven together comprising of a series of
funny, bizarre and uncalled-for incidents.
3. • Opening shot of the credits begins with a action shot of the
opening scene, which is set in a diner, using low key lighting
and an image of crime, as shown by the robbers, violence as
symbolised by the gun and the femme fatale as portrayed by
the woman holding the gun.
• The music is very fast paced and upbeat than many other neo-
noir films, but sticking to the theme that perhaps the music
does not necessarily fit what is going on.
4. • The typeface used throughout the credits is Aaehen, acting as
a very directory and bold typeface to use and could also be
seen as rather imposing to the viewer.
• A transition of music towards the end, to suggest that the
credits will end shortly after- the music carrying on to the next
scene.
5. • As previously mentioned, the music perhaps is rather atypical,
as both scores use much more jolly music in comparison to
perhaps a conventional neo-noir film, where there is much
more indie or serious music put forward.
• Also, through the opening credits, there is not much action
nor film and is actually more focused on the credits
themselves, not displaying many of the codes and
conventions, i.e. sexuality, personal codes and even
protagonists.
