Silence of the lambs.

Silence of the Lambs

Silence of the lambs has a opening which is very mysterious. We start off seeing the opening credits and also some slow low key music going with it. This is creating tension for the opening when you don't know what is going to happen. When we cut to the first scene we see a very mystery,spooky sort of place. This helps us to understand that they are out in the country and that no one seems to be around. The opening credits continue to role over this and so does the non-diagetic music. 

When the first person appears on set we see that she seems to be moving at a fast pace giving you the impression that she may be running away. The camera angle is a far shot showing her and the scene that she is in. when we see her run past we see that she is worn out and that she may have been running for some time. 

As it cuts through the forest showing her running the camera has some tracking shots showing that she is running along. The clothes she is wearing is very much basic track's showing that she is very basic and giving you the impression that she may be from some where. 

When we see that she comes up to an obstetrical we immediately  think that she is not being chased any more and that she is doing a special course. As wee see her climb up and jump down you get the impression that she is quite fit and knows what she is doing. 

When a man calls her name we see that she is not alone and that she must be close/ part of some where. The man who stops her has a police hat on showing that he must be part of the police or a high power in the police force.

When we hear her speak she has very much a low voice showing that she may have manly aspects to her, when she runs inside we see how she greets everyone and that she must be part of that as she looks like she knows where she is going. When she reaches where she is we hear people talking and having a sort of fear in there voice. They both have suits and the way they look they seem to be high class of the police force. In the opening we see great dill of suspense of what is going on making you want to know what is going to happen. 

When the woman is inside the office she is meant to be in we see how she has a look around as if she has not been in here before. she has a look at the wall trying to see what is going on the audience see how the police are looking at a case and we see how it then links to the inspector who comes in. 

The Inspector seems to have a higher class to him as he speaks more formally and there are aspects of speaking lessons he has had. The Inspector very much gives a bio of the woman in the office to the audience as he says how clever she is and how well she has been doing. This is significant as we see how clever she may be and only moments before how she was running around a assault course.
