Kill Bill (Tarantino, 2003)
Kill Bill opening scene uses some techniques that i thought were applicable to our own opening sequence, the style of the clip was very neo-noir with its use of black & white, shadowed figures and partial obscurity of the female character.
Narrative
- The narrative is structured in a way that makes us feel sympathetic for the female character as he is covered in blood, shaking and crying.
- The audience is positioned with the female character and is made to feel sympathetic towards her though her use of NV Language like crying and her positioning, lying down on the floor, shows her to be vulnerable.
- Just before the woman is killed he says he is at his most masochistic and she says "Bill its your baby" as she is shot showing us that at some point before this sequence the two characters have been in some kind of relationship.
- The major themes in the narrative are horror and thriller.
- Tension is created and maintained when you hear bill loading the gun and her breathing rate increasing.
- Lucy Liu is a star used in this film, she also is in other films for example Kung Fu Panda where she voices for the snake.
- Mirimax films are the company who produced this film, they started off as an independent film producing company but were later bought out by Disney in 1993 and has now been shut down.
