Dark night.



Narrative structure.

The stucture from the film is linear. It follows an order from the bank robberry and although we don't know exaclty what is happening there is an order and from this the story begins unfold.



Codes and Conventions.
In the film we see a Transformed city as it is set far from the usual with sky scraping buuildings and away from the urban life. the question and answer module is also used as we are constaly questioning the film; Why is he running? whats going to happen next? This keeps the viewer tight on the screen. Partial vision is also used through the introduction as we are kept from the whole story aswel as knowing our characters.



Camera.
To start off, there is an extreme close up of the buildings with zoom used also. This shows us the setting of the film and starts to build tention. Aswel as this, a crane shot is used to show the streets below aswel as tracking shot to show . A close up is also used to show our villian which is a shot of the clown image. point of veiew shots are also used in this introduction, this puts the audience into the scene as we follow the conversation that takes place in the car.

Mise-en-Scene.
With a daylight setting for this films introduction, it makes the atmosphere look very calm and we are not expecting any sort of crime to take place in such an exposed area. This ideology puts the audience in a false sense of securtiy.

Sounds.
The film has a very simple but effective with a low beating music as we move through the city. itbuilds up tention as it instantly creates an atmostphere where we know something bad is going to happen which contrasts to the bright and daylight scenery. The music used in the begging also personifies the film and our main characters; it sounds almost like a heart beat which changes pace aswel as things get more intense. it could also be linked to the sound of footsteps as the music changes in volume and the frequency.

Graphics.
The graphcis used are kept very dark and fading into the background with the cats names appearing and directors. However this is less important in this film as it uses icons in the graphics. The batman icon is used in the opening. This instantly set sthe scene and gives the most impact as it is a universally known symbol and as it appears centrally it can relate to all the audience without words as it introduces our main character.
