Opening to The Dark Knight

.      
We get a high angle view on the jokers gang robbing money from the bank this gives us a better view on what is happening and makes us understand what the genre is. The birds eye view of the area shows us where the robbery is going to take place and makes us feel excited. The low angled view on the joker shows us that he has authority and makes him look like a big character. The lighting is shining on his masks eyes this makes us worry and feel more scared of him. The over the shoulder view shows us both characters and we see what is happening in a better view, and builds tension as we wonder what is going to happen.
        The pace of the editing is quick, this is done to make it more exciting and makes us realize something bad is going to happen. also it makes us understand the different characters in more depth. The scenes flow and as it is a fight scene the fast editing pace helps this.
        This film is targeted to male people due to a lot of action, a lot of fighting, people dying and guns. This is what most boys enjoy most.
         Music's playing constantly in the background, this builds up tension and makes us wonder how it is going to end out. the music quiets down when he enters the vault. this is good because it makes it feel like we are in the area and makes us want to know how he is going to get into the vault and it sounds like dangerous music. then as the main owner of the back exits his area and shoots through the glass the music builds up this makes it more tense. The music is played perfectly so we understand what is going on in more depth.
       This film makes it clear what genre it is in the opening scene. Guns are usually seen as action as it makes us also sense that there are going to be a lot of fight scenes, also when the window of the building shatters this makes us believe it to be an action as things breaking are usually shown in action films.
         I think this opening scene is great due to you are able to picture exactly what is going to happen during the rest of the film. it also keeps you gripped and makes you want to know when someone is gong to save the day and put something right. You know who the villains are. I think all the props are used well and the conventions make the scene more interesting.
