Italian job – intro CONVENTIONS

Fast cars!

Fast cars are in a lot of films in this type the camera is used to track the speed of the car, it cuts fast making the audience feel the real speed that is shown.

sound.

In this intro the camera is tracking the car with non-diagetic sound as soon as the camera cuts to inside the car you see it from how the person driving sees it, it is a relaxed environment, this is backed up with sound, this shows how sound can manipulate how the person person feels

Titles.

You see the titles fill the blank space of the shot this is very good as it gives an order to the placement and do not distract a viewer from any action.

Action in the intro During the intro dilemma happens just as this happens the camera cuts to black and shows a long shot of the explosion in tunnel this is a very good technique as it can suggest the viewer that he is a remote location, it also gives the feel that he is being watched it is revealed in the scene after after you see that someone causes explosion. It is centered in the middle of the screen to make it easier for viewer to see, working with the z line of action (everything we read and see is looked at in a Z formation)
