Kill Bill 2

Clip starts from 0.00- 2.00

Editing- firstly fade cuts are used. This is expected as it is the beginning of the film and must slowly begin to make the audience aware of the next scenes. The editing also includes straight cuts when a scene of violence has ended, it normally resumes to the narrative in black and white.

Sound- in this film clip causes suspense, diegetic sound is in the form of the characters talking and non diegetic sound is in the form of the narrator telling the audience the story line.

The camerawork- the camera uses close up shots in the beginning as the victims face in shown to be in suffering. In this scene a stedicam shot is used to make the audience think that they are witnessing the violence first hand.
Camera movement includes panning as well, when the victim is shown to be dead.

Mise en scene- in this clip the costumes after not the main focus of the scene, the violence and storyline is. From watching the two minutes I can identify the costumes to be a women wearing a fitted leather jacket as seen at 0.55.

Lighting in this scene is low, and the colour of the film is in black and white. These are good colours to use as they connote death, violence and misery.

Acting of all characters in the beginning demonstrates a women begging for her life. This is very serious and the close up shot focuses on the face to exploit the emotions and feelings which can be read on the women’s face, being scared

Make up used on the protagonist makes her look beaten and bruised. This empathises the look of violence and death. At 0.55 the make up makes the same women look well and healthy. Make up helps show the contrast in the emotions in the different scenes, on the same character.

Setting of the scene vary from a dark space on the floor, to a setting of a bridge with trees and countryside around her in the background where the women is shown to be driving her car.
