Shifty opening sequence analysis
Genre:
Urban Thriller
Plot:
Chris returns to his home town and is shocked to
discover that Shifty, his old best friend has been
dealing cocaine throughout the film they are met in
dangerous situations and Chris tries to stop shifty
dealing drugs before it goes too far.
Sound:
There is a mellow music track creating a sombre,
sad mood, there is no diegetic sound.
Shots:
there are a variety of shots used, include close up,
medium, and extreme long shots.
Titles:
The tiles are white and the font used is very plain so
doesn’t indicate the storyline or genre.
This is the first shot of the sequence, there is a male sitting on his own on a
coach, the shot is quite long being at 7 seconds and is quite shaky so is probably
taken using a handheld camera.
This shot introduces us to the character, he is wearing a yellow top and black
jacket and staring out the window with headphones in his ears. There is no
diegetic sound, just a non-diegetic soundtrack.
This shot shows the setting- blocks of flats in a run down area.
This shot introduces the second character and their name ‘shifty’, while he
wears all black and is walking away from the large block of flats.
This is the first shot that you get that hints towards the main theme- drugs, the
birds-eye-view shot shows little of the setting only a sofa and table which
makes you ask questions like who is this new character and what does he have
to do with the storyline etc. The character is wearing a green jumper and jeans.
