'Zodiac' Opening Scene



(aka: let’s get Jake Gyllenhaall, Robert Downey Jr., Mark Ruffalo, and half a dozen B-list actors AND GIVE THEM ALL BAD HAIRCUTS)

Conventions:

Mysterious black car alongside violent shooting and killing action.

Camera:

Pans across the entire setting. Shoots so that you cannot see the man inside the car.

Editing:

Slow motion increases drama of the scene. It fades to black afterwords, creating tension.

Sound:

As the scene progresses, the music gets louder and increases tension, as well as the fireworks.

Mise-en-scene:

The entire scene is dark and just waiting for something to go wrong, the darkness of the car and the setting make the fireworks a bit of a juxtapose.
