Consider the following key questions about mise-en-scene and camera composition to analyse film openings:
What costume do characters wear and what are the key connotations?
What body language is used by characters and to what effect?
What are we shown by proxemics (how far apart characters are) and what is communicated to the audience?
How is lighting used and what effect does it have?
What settings are there and how are they established?
What is said and how does it make the audience think or feel?
What key shots are used and to what effect?
Aim to analyse three film openings using key terms and concepts learned in your G321 and G322 studies.
