Analyse A Film Opening Sequence

The film that I am analysing is 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' the film was directed and produced by Tobe Hooper. The opening sequence allows the audience to establish the genre of the film which is horror. I know this because the opening sequence of the film shows a very dark background slowly fades in showing a picture of a baby. The baby doesn’t seem to have a normal face which helps the audience to adapt the film’s storyline. The open sequence the light flashes to cause the audiences to become enigma it also shows a shadow of a man this tells us that he is looking at the pictures. The camera then quickly pans across and shows a police document with the name “Thomas Hewitt”. This starts to gives us a brief idea on what is going on. The lights start to brighten and it shows a man wrapping another man’s face with bandage this starts to introduce the characters and shows us that the man who is getting wrapped is Johnny. This also tells the audience that the film genre is a horror.
The narrative is established straight away when the police document are shown telling the audience something had happened in the past. It also shows little clips like the man with the dirty hand burning the picture of the baby. The editing also helps establish what is going on especially by the montage. There are many scenes put together that show us the whole town and it cross cut showing us what is happening as well.
The opening sequence builds a tension which makes the audience feel uneasy because they don’t know what is going to happen it makes them feel uncomfortable.
The sound that is used is non diegetic sound which helps adapt the scene. The music is spooky and violins are played. Diegetic sound is also used when the man says “Don’t worry about it Johnny” .this introduces Johnny as the man that is getting the bandage wrapped round his face. The Texas chainsaw massacre open sequence doesn’t have many characters. It just shows us a brief introduction to the story.

Sound-Diary Of A Call Girl

Non-diegetic sound in the beginning its an end of a sound bridge from the previous scene where she opens the door. The sound makes the scene very awkward.As the father goes through the bag you can hear it very loudly. Sound track is helping emphasises the noise of the envelope this shows that its a business transaction.There is no non-diegetic sound track,the sound is very emphasis when locking the door. They not finishing they sentences because the call girl feels awkward. The locking of the door is ambience its recorded during production. The whole exchange is punctuated in silences making it awkward because of his disability. Its just to show that he's disable,but not to pity him. Sound track diegetic music played by the dad,its the opposite on how he's feeling. Its not comfortable for him in the van. This music was recorded there and then. Non diegetic sound track added from the scene from the dad,back to the room where it becomes very slow and mellow to reflect the dialogue and it helps to create the mood on how the boy feels.Harmonica is played for the "Blues" when something is sad,the sound track started to increase in the end and it started to faze.

The first part of the clip starts of with a 'Dolly Shot',we can see the tools that the men would use for hard labour.
The second shot is an over the shoulder shot and it pans across the scene,mid-long shot,showing the girl. Established the location and her costume.
The shot of her in the car is a close up,there is a dolly shot of how the girl looks confused about driving.
Once the cars hit the shot becomes wide and a long shot which also shows the lake at the back.
There's a mid-long shot of the headmaster,ant the crash,with smoke coming out of the cars.
The camera pans from Amy to her boss this is showing the height difference between them.
Then the camera goes into a close up to show the difference in age.
The camera goes into a low angle shot showing that the two men are strong and powerful.
When amy gets told of the camera puts us into her eye level to make us feel like were getting told of as well.
Extreme and wide shot(established shot) shows a scene of fields and a rainbow. 
After amy runs away the camera tilts to revel the note she left behind,the camera pans so the teddy bear can be shown. The camera tilts and pans around the room with a slow zoom into the photograph.
Tilts from the outside and shows the room,when the adult walks in it makes us feel like amy.
The camera also show a shot of the window from the outside,to tell us where she ran away from.
The camera goes into a mid close-up showing the women outside the window showing her emotions.
The camera goes back up to the tall mans eye level,to show the guilt.The shot reverses back and forward to show the conversation.
The last shot is a close up of the mans face and it shows the guilt.
