A walk on the Wild side intro



Titles: The opening titles for this film are the usual thriller syle of white against black, these are capitalised and in a serif font, this stands out to the viewer without being to eye catching as to draw effec away fron the camera shots.

Camera: The scene uses many shots including close up, birds eye view, long shot, mid shot and so on. during the fight some extreme close ups are used.

Editing: The sequence is quite slow paced to make the audience feel that the cat is dominant in his home/ place of staying and becomes more and more dominant throughout the shots. as the audience tracks the cat this is reinforced by the dissolves between shots. however when the fight brakes out the pace picks up and the shots are far more sharp and violent. this signifies a thriller as there is usually violence in after a build up in the intro of a thriller.

Sound: There is a non-digetic sound track of orchestral music through out the sequence, getting louder and the pace changes to run parallel to the video. The music helps to keep the pace for this sequence,towards the end the scene the sound fades out and signifying the end of the scene.

Mise en scene: at the opening the audience sees the cat walking through what appears to be a construction yard with many concrete pipes, we can also assume that the cat is a stray as most cats do not wander in to building sites. the cats setting tell us what sort of cat it is, a strong confident and brave cat who owns the street.
