camera
- All the camera shots in this opening scene are either shot as a 2 shot or a over shoulder/ close up shot and all the angles are shot at eye level. this is used as it makes the audience feel like they are part of the conversation and can see everything happening.
Mise en scene
- the colour and lighting in this scene is quite natural and because of the back light it makes the characters faces look half dark and half light which suggests their antagonist and protagonist side.
- the sett is a regular traditional diner
- the characters are dressed in normal average clothes with no visible make up making the audience confused at why this average scene is at the start of the "best thriller made". but once you start listening to their conversation it becomes less strange
- their body language in addition is very calm and relaxed contrasting to what is about to happen.
Editing
- transition speed speeds up slightly as the robbery is about to happen which is cross cutting.
sound
there is only diagetic sound and dialogue in this scene which is contrasting to 44 inch chest with only nondiagetic sound. personally i think that non diagetic sound only or no dialoge works better with thriller openings as it creates suspense and mystery more than pulp fiction does.
good
