The Red Violin.

• Genre - Thriller, you can tell this from the music and how tense the room is especially when the man smashes the violin.
• Titles are shown in Sans Serif, go well with the blurred background which gradually comes into focus.
• High angle shot first lowering on a crane, gives the feeling of falling.
• credits shown in dark areas and not on the actors.
• Violins are shown when they come into focus gives enigma.
• From the costumes you can tell it is set in the past.
• Text is posh like, like the opening of the workshop and auction house.
• Dark colour pallet, lets us see wood colours vibrantly, coincidence violins are these colours.
• Samuel Jackson enters the room wearing different clothes to everyone else, this shows his importance and gives enigma as to why he is so important.
• Lighting is used well, window light gives a dark working environment.
• Strings overlay with continuous notes.
• Creep pitch, chelos do the same but lower.
• Diegetic sounds are heard, woodwork, tools, fire crackling.
• When the violin is smashed on the table the music stops and that is all that is heard. Makes it more dramatic.
• Then we walks of and the music comes in again, shows how significant the violin smashing is.
• Not much jump cuts are used and the camera is almost always moving.
• The camera moves to show the workplace and the title fades.
• When it cuts to the door, the camera follows in point of view. Makes you feel like you are there.
• When there is the scene in the hall you can tell it is big from the echo heard.
