Da vinvci code analysis
(first 5 minutes)
Camera- the establishing shot was panning over the pictures which sets the scene to be in a museum, and there are low angle shots of the man running, this makes him look panicked, also they also use a close up of his face to show the emotion, and the glowing sweat on his forehead. This tells the audience that something wrong is about to happen. There's an ariel shot of the museum below, showing the scene. They pull focus between the gun and the face which would make the audience notice his facial expression, and the fact that he has a gun.
Editing - They use jump cuts to show the contrast between the audience who seem intrigued, and the man who has been shot. The cut rates are very fast to show the suspense and to make it look frantic.
Mise En Scene - The light on the mans face was artificial, which shows the time of the day. One of the men is wearing a suit, which gives the impression that he is upper classed, which contrasts to the other man who is wearing a robe, which gives the effect that he is involved in religion. The audience were smartly dressed and appeared to be a mix of cultures, which could indicate they were university students. The books on the desk show the audience show what is taking place in the scene, this also shows he is famous. Linking to this the flowers on the desk, also show his popularity.
Sound - Before we see the people from the film , the non-diegetic music fades in and it starts suspense and we hear diagetic footsteps running down a corridor which makes us want to know who it is and why they might be running , when the camera turns to then the man , we start to hear him gasping for air. this builds tension in the audience and make them preempt and guess what might be going on.
When the other dark figure comes into the scene the music begins to get faster paced like you could imagine the heart beat of the man who is running away might be. And this adds to the feel of panic in the scene.
Another example of non-diegetic sound was when the gun shot goes off and the bullet falls on the floor. The slow motion pin-drop noise makes the audience have time to think about what has just happened and give time for their emotions to change.
The use of silence when the men are talking make the audience relate the panicking moments with the music that was on previously.This also gives a moment of strangeness because the man is holding a gun at the other man.
Audience - The audience of this thriller would be people who are interested in mystery detective thriller. Also a wide range of the audience would have read the books and wanting to see how the films turn out. Although i believe this film would be more of a male audience, women would be interested in it too as it is suitable for both sexes.
