Angel Eyes Analysis (Note Form)

Angel Eyes

Chiming music, with black screen for start of credits, fear of unknown? Chiming could be a old grandfather clock, the clocks are typically spooky. Could reflect an heartbeat. Makes it eerie and creates a tense atmosphere through the use of black, goes into fog.

Fog makes its eerie, and sight is restricted, therefore there is a tense atmosphere from the start. Eerie opera style singing, fog opens out into an car crash. Sound bridge. Fog edited to open up, and cover the screen, then the next scene fades in, which is of Police cars, Cracked glass and stopped vehicles. 

Someone has obviously been hurt, or is dead. could be opening up for a crime thriller? Night time setting. Non Diagetic Sound of the aria singing, which comes to a crescendo and the sight of the heroine. Not stereotypical? Female as the hero?

Close up of heroine, focusing on her eyes. Links to the title 'Angel Eyes'. Quick cuts, make it disorientating so you can't quite work out what's going on, it also makes the viewer feel like they are in the persons place, not typical of camera work? POV shots are slightly shaky and therefore disorientated and make it seem. Fade to white. Then skips a year. Fade shows a passage of time. Therefore it is an temporal edit.

Vigilante type character? Gets into a fight, but argues his way out of it. Dressed in a long brown coat, stereotypical of a good guy? Wet hair, suggests he has been out in the rain, which may reflect pathetic fallacy.

Cuts to woman on date, with her hair down, different to the way she looks as a police woman. Addition of non diagetic music, to set the mood of the scene, "I'm tired" suggests that she isn't the type of girl to want to date. Shows the difference between her home life and her work life. The shot of her getting ready for work sets up that she is on the police force and therefore going out into danger.

Over the shoulder shots between the two cops, and then a mid shot of Vigilante, and a close up on face, where there is a look of realisation. In the story she is the one who saved him.Walks in from the dark and then slips back into the dark.
