Inception
This is the opening scene from the film inception. Inception is an action, sci-fi thriller that was aimed at a wide range of people and ages. This film is supposed to make you think and there is some jumpy parts to the film as well that adds an element of horror to it. This is why it was a successful film because it had elements of lots of the popular genres in it. This film is similar to the other 3 that I have analysed because it is a Thriller with a similar age rating> The camera work and the editing are similar as well and this means they all follow the similar codes and conventions.Camera angles/movement
The couple of camera shots in the scene are close ups of a
guy that is lying on the ground then there are some long shots of some kids
playing on the same beach he is lying on. Then there is a close up of a gun
pointing at the guys back and then a long shot of another guy. Then the camera
cuts to two people have convocation. There is lots of over the shoulder shots
and close up shots of the people’s faces. All of these shots are typical shots
of Thriller films.
Editing
The editing in this scene is quite simple it mostly involves
cuts and fades. Even though this is simple it is the typical editing that is
used in most films and especially in Thrillers. There is some slow motion in
the scene and this creates a good effect. This follows the codes and conventions for Thriller films because they are all similar to this style of editing.
Sound and Lighting
The lighting in the scene at the start is bright because the
person is outside on a beach but then the scene moves inside and the scene
becomes much darker. The sound has mostly diegetic sound because there is no
music in this scene so this means that all of the sound in the scene can be
heard by the actors. Outside there is sound of the waves because that part of
the scene is set on the beach. When the scene moves inside then all you hear is
the guys talking to each other.
