I have chosen to analyse The opening scene to Swordfish because it used a lot of shallow focus, and i would like to include shallow focus on the final edit of my thriller opening.
The opening scene is of a speech by Travolta and it is only the subject in focus everything else is blurry. This makes it so that the audience is only focused on Travolta therefore making what he is doing and saying even more powerful and effective.
This scene also uses colour correction to correspond to the mood of the scene, so the scene is made to have alot of brown murky tones which reflects the darkness of the conversation. I would like to replicate this technique in our thriller opening by draining colour from the following scene to make the scene feel dark and unpleasant.
The sound of this clip other than the sound of travolta's voice there is very subtle music, this is effective in the way that it draws even more attention to what he is saying. This technique would be ideal in the phone call scene of our thriller.
