Narc Opening Scene

sound - sirens in the background adds to the industrial effect and also creates a sense of ciminal activity.

- the constant sound of the characters panting and heavy breathing throughout the chase makes the scene more intense and also adds a sense or realism to it. This also shows the characters fitness, and the audience may not think he is a cop due to his lack of fitness.

-there is no non-diegetic sound throughout the scene, this enhances the sounds the characters are making (panting, screaming) this also adds to the realism to the scene.

camera - the whole scene is shot as if following the character usuing a hand held camera. therefore the picture is very shaky. this also makes the scene very realistic and creates an intense atmostphere.

mise en scene - as the chase happens they run through various places which establishes the area. they first off run through a filthy yard and then a scappy car park. later on he runs through what looks like a council estate. this shows us the characters background.

editing - the whole scene has a blue tint to it, this creates a cold feeling to it and creates a tense atmostphere.

conclusion - i especially like a couple shots and ideas in this opening scene, the hand held camera effect and the sound of the characters heavy breathing. this creates great realism for the audience. i'd like to use this technique in my main task, however the atmpostphere of Narc is different to the atmostphere i am looking for as our main task will be a bit more light hearted.
