Opening to Zodiac - Kieran


Starts with titles to show that this is based on true events. A fast panning shot a city scape is shown with fireworks in the background with a non-diegetic soundtrack of a jazz style song.
A long shot of suburban houses is shown through the view of the protagonist out of a car window with people setting off fireworks and running around this makes you ask what is happening? 

A character is shown running towards the car then a shot reverse shot of the dialogue between the characters with a diegetic soundtrack of jazz music that is playing in the car.



A long shot of a 70’s dinner is shown this help to show the time that the movie is set in



The next shot is a long shot of a car that is park behind the protagonists this also reflects the time period that the film is set in. the antagonist is shown in a medium shot but his face is not shown a focus pull is used on a gun in the antagonists hand. This makes you think who is this? Why did he kill them? The non-diegetic soundtrack is contrapuntal to what is happening as it is of a 70’s rock song that is fast paced.

  1. A little too descriptive . This is good and you use vocab well, but you d also have to consider what this is truing to achieve?

    Overall, way too short.
