'Brick' Opening Scene




Conventions:

Immediately, a dead body is shown, along with a possible suspect, indicating murder and immediately introducing an enigma.

Camera:

Extreme close ups of different parts of the body, also a close up of the girls hand when she is alive int he flashback, slowly revealing it to create tension. Shot-reverse-shot and eyeline match between the male character and the dead girl.

Editing:

Dissolves into a flashback, this creates more mystery and makes it interesting.

Sound:

The diagetic sound is mysterious and unsettling.

Mise-en-scene:

The tone of the scene is damp and melancholy with muted colours and dark clothing worn.
