300 coventions analysis

My thriller opening analysis is 300.The conventions used are different compared to  Psycho, Goodfellas and Trainspotting. This is because 300 uses animation art to introduce the film.

There is no Distribution logo or a production logo but only the names of the producer and the director.

 

The transition speeds varies over time to create an impact on the red blood squirting out of the black silhouette. the blood is like a 3D effectIt empathize the contrast black and red and also the audience can pass a judgment that they are all equal, however in some ways this period is chauvinistic and they all have the mentality of  thinking about abusing others and violence.Additionally to use of transitions they are random, this could be done to demonstrate the disruption on their society and the action of the violence.

The music used is upbeat and fast tempo to create a tense atmosphere, as if some one is running away. In addition it gives an indication on the genre the film is and what it is about. the use of music is similar to all the thrillers i have analyzed because it sets the mood and the1 expectations, of the film.  

 The animation shots vary as well. From close ups to establishing shots etc. This could be due to the violent tension that will be perceived to the audience. This is similar to Trainspotting during the running scene, to create tension for the audience. 

The title is written in a blood graphite graphics, once again to set the mood and the theme.

 

When introducing the cast they slow down the transion so instead of using a freeze frame like Goodfellas and Trainspotting. They slow motion on the cast name and silhouette. But at they use classical credits when a film ends.
