Technical analysis of Kill Bill: Volume 2

My technical analysis turned out to be quite short as the opening sequence of the film was a small number of quite long lasting shots. The sequence as a whole contained a wide range of shots, including both XLS and BCU shots. It also contained different types of movements such shots that track in from XLS, and this gives the audience and overview of the specific scenes. There are also shots both in black and white and in colour which allows the viewer to differentiate between the shots as a lot of them are isolated and it is not a continuous narrative. There is both diagetic and non-diagetic sound used in the opening sequence, the diagetic sound is used to give the viewer a background into the story, and the non-diagetic sound is used to create tension and suspense. Within the first two minutes there is also a set of three titles which gives background information on the making of the film, and also puts the follwing scene into context. The music in this sequence is quite important because of the way it builds up in a shot and then the shot change at the climax of the music, when the tension has peaked.
