Shelter opening (2010)

Sound
-         Music; eerie and mysterious
-         Rain
-         Man tapping fingers on desk
-         Ticking clock
-         Clicking pen
Because we can hear the sounds of the rain, fingers, clock and pen emphasizes the quietness within the room and builds the tension and awkwardness.
Camera movement
-         Tilt from window to bird’s eye view of a man at a desk – hide face, creates mystery
-         Pan around the room; show men in suits - people with power
-         As camera pans, we see a woman reading through papers nervously
Camera shots
-         Bird’s eye shot of mug shot images of a man and happy photos of a girl (child) – suggests murder
-         Mid shot of woman with 2 men in the background on either side of her – has less power than the men
Title
-         Black screen and white writing; simple but dark and mysterious
-         Actors names fade in and out with slowly as the music bangs faintly
-         The name of the film fades in larger on screen with a louder bang
-         Dramatic
Costume
-         All the men in the room wearing suits; shows they have power and authority, important jobs
-         The woman is wearing a red collared shirt and purple jumper with glasses; shows femininity and intelligence
