- 1. Thriller conventions: Low key lighting and fog is used to set the scene. The scene has a long build up which generates tension. Music also plays, non-diagetic. It also generates suspense as the soundtrack is quite vivid in tone. The shot itself creates a multitude of questions within the viewer, as there is no clear meaning. What the shot is really doing is setting the scene of a misty arid environment. One which many may feel unsafe in. Fargo The minimalism of the opening credits sets the pace of the movie along with the speed the car is going.
- 2. The camera cuts to the car driving away, leaving the viewer back alone in the desolate landscape. Creates a sense of loneliness. Build up from arid landscape to headlights through blizzard, soundtrack builds up to the car coming over a hill. Camera tracks the car as it passes. You see a damaged car, causes questions about the story. Nothing is given away in the scene. Leaves only more questions to be answered which is a main feature of a thriller, as the unknown can keep the audience in a state of anxiety. The fact the car is being towed implies it is not road worthy. Suggests that something must have occurred to break it down. The viewer in the beginning would see this as a somewhat normal event but it is foreshadowing events to come. Before the setting is established, a short statement tells the audience that the narrative is based on true events. While the film itself is loosely inspired by real world events, (Each event was an actual crime) the narrative itself is completely fictional. This was done to remind the reader what they saw is real and have more of an impact.
- 3. Shining Helicopter tracking shot view of car passing through mountains, sets the scene as isolated and desolate. The camera pans through multiple landscapes. Also then setting the scene as vast. The size of the car compared to the landscape also highlights the how lonely they are. The title along with dramatic music sets the tone for the feature. The montage of tracking shots is also a thriller convention. The camera then continues to track the car for an extended period, isolating the viewer further.
- 4. And finally the camera rests on the resort. The bleakness of the mountain and resort tell the viewer this is not a welcoming place. There are a lot of cars parked here but I think this may have been an oversight or a problem they could not fix. The focus of the shot is not immediately on the hotel, And rests on the mountain. This is done so that the viewers feel the characters are small in comparison to their surroundings.
- 5. No country for old men The opening shots are all of the peaceful desert. They all capture beautiful scenes and is a strong contrast to the occurrences in the movie. This may have been done to put the viewer off guard or to set up a metaphor for how all may not be as it seems. Thriller conventions include slow pace, hard shadows, and low key lighting.
- 6. We then see a man being put into a police car, we know nothing about him and yet we can tell something is off in his mannerisms. An odd tool is also placed into the car which should put the viewer into a sense of caution. Fate is a strong theme throughout the movie and the fact we came from a peaceful opening to this is a nod to that. By fate we have stumbled across our main antagonist. The shot then cuts to the police car speeding away, and the voice over ceases. Closing the opening and opening the movie. The voice over was talking about the old ways dying. Or the last days of the west and a repeat occurrence. Setting up the movie.
