Bullet Boy (2004) – Saul Dibb Titles The titles fade onto the screen. They are all at the edges, none are in the middle. The Title of the film is to the right and bigger than the rest, but not in the centre. The titles are plane white on a black background. Once they have been on for a couple of seconds they fade back off. The same happens to the boy when he is first introduced. He fades into the black screen and onto the right, so the titles can continue to appear on the left.All sounds are non-diagetic sounds, up until the first camera scene, where you can hear a background noise of cars, keys and various other things. As the music gets higher, a new name will come onto the screen, and just like the names, the music is also fading in and out.
Bullet Boy (2004) – Saul Dibb Mise en scene The first shot is of a young boy in the boot of a car. We know this because of tight spacing and sounds in the back ground. The fact that it is a very dark and cramped space shows the audience that it is going to be mysterious, and the audience will want to know where the boy is, who he is, and why he is in the boot. We don’t learn much about character, just that he is young alone, and actually pretty calm given that he is in the boot of a person’s car.
Bullet Boy (2004) – Saul Dibb Narrative The audience are not given much about either of the characters in the first two scenes. From the first we can just guess his age. He is shown through one camera shot, with very dim lighting, and can only see a bit clearer when the torch is turned on a couple of seconds later. The second character introduced by a mirror which has been broken, and we can’t see much of him only that he is lying down. We then find out that he is in prison. Can see this because of the cell, and police woman waking him up; seems like he is only in overnight as they take in his details once he comes out. Only through dialogue do we find out his age and name. However shot reverse shots (close ups), and long side/establishing shots are used to when going through this. We find out two MCs are connected when the older one is driving and finds, to his surprise, the younger one in his boot.
Arlington Road (1999) – Mark Pellington Titles Just as the music speeds right up, like it’s about to come to a halt, the titles start, with completely the new background music. The titles run fast with different special effects and different ways of entering the screen. Sometimes they flash, sometimes they cut. They all have different backgrounds most likely relating to the rest of the film.,
Arlington Road (1999) – Mark Pellington Mise en scene It starts off blurry, character is revealed subtly throughout the scene. Different camera shots reveal different parts of him. POV shot is used to show where the boy is and what is happening. It is showing what is in the scene and where he is, it also revealed things about what is happening and that there is something wrong as the view is distorted. The entire first scene is used to show the audience that there Is something wrong. By including the houses and the neighbourhood, the audience immedietly will think of the suburbs and then they will remember the boy, and will constantly question what is wrong Notice neighbourhood, notice something is wrong with boy. Transition shot. Next sign that something is wrong POV Shot. Is all blurry. Something wrong
Arlington Road (1999) – Mark Pellington Narrative • Character is first scene through a blurry scenes, that fade quickly. First thing seen clearly is extreme close up of his eye. First full shot of child is a mid-side shot that is blurry, but can still make him out. Can notice the blood if you really look. Images then flash over, quite quickly, of the child and where he is.Blood falling onto converse proves that he is bleeding, symbol?Music gets faster with shots. Carry’s on dong this when the man finds the child. It is slowly revealed by camera shots that the child seems to have lost his hand. Close up of converse that look small, pretty much sure it’s a child. Person isn’t walking n a straight line, something is wrong.Can hear Diegetic sounds in the background, along with music; appears to be someone speaking. More close ups of face, still haven’t seen the person yet, only getting bits. POV shot shows that the person is surrounded by houses and there is also definitely something wrong as it keeps going blurry.
Se7en (1999) – David Fincher Titles: The titles fade on and off the screen, in different places. While on the screen they also shake, which actually goes along with the music. They appear throughout the title sequence at different parts, and for different intervals.
Se7en (1999) – David Fincher Narrative: Again, the title sequence doesn’t actually tell us much about the film itself, and is very confusing. The title sequences narrative is all over the place, just like the music and it would be hard to deduce anything about the film from it. You can however see from certain scenes that the person you keep seeing is most likely psychotic and may need help. He is probably planning something, which will involve the police.
Se7en (1999) – David Fincher Mise en scene Throughout the sequence there are a number of shots and very different scenes, hardly any of which that actually go together. Some that do are the different shots of the writing. The writing shows that this person, who you see bits of, is probably psychotic and from that you get the feeling that this film is going to be very dark
