Leon opening analysis

Calm music to start with while panning through the busy streets of newyork. Goes straight to the hit man having a conversation about killing someone. Close ups of both the mens faces but dont actually see whatr each of them looks like. Lots of midshots of the Men which are about to be killed, so we can see how many of them there are that are going to be killed by one hitman. One man gets killed but camera does not capture the killing just the noises and blook spatters on the wall. Calm but suspicious music then quiet. Low angle shot from the top of the stairs as we see someone get pulled over the edge. See all men get killed but we never see the hit man until he goes to the man he ws there to kill. point of view shot from the hitman coming up behind him. Very quiet scene. Comes out from the darkness. The opening is well lit up with natural and artificial lighting. Not much dialogue throughout only noise is from guns. very chaotic and then all suddenly stops.

Seven anlysis

The opening to seven goes straight into the film. Its raining which is a typical weather for a thriller. Quite alot of low angle shots at the beginning. Other from the rain and natural noises like cars it is very silent and not much dialogue between characters. Goes straight into a crime scene which is very bloody. Very dark only natural lighting used or torches. Dreary musuc starts as we see the casting. Multishots switching really fast of what we believe to be the killer, close ups. camera work making it looked old fasioned like a broken video. Music starts to pick up as we see more of what the killer is doing. Goes into another crime scene which is even darker, only torches for ligting. Camera panning across the scene. Close ups of the victim. slow music with sharp, sudden sounds throughout. A majority of mid shots so we can see the characters and the background.
