This is also another film opening I did in class where we took down notes about the shots and conventions. This film is called Zodiac which was made in 2007.
This opening sequence of this film is based on a teenage girl and boy driving and stopping in a quiet place to have a nice chat. As they park up they here fireworks/bullets and a women is shouting and telling something to die. The boy knows something is not right and then he realized as a car parks up near him and turns off his headlights for a minute and then turns his headlights back on and drives off. This is when the tension starts to disappear but then builds up again. They both get anxious as he don't know whats going on but the girl does and she knows something bad is going to occur. As they sit in their car silently they could hear tire noises which builds up tension and shock. The next thing they know that same car comes back and parks up behind him gets his torch out but not showing his face. He comes up to the car and kills both of then and at this part of the scene it starts to go slow motion and the music starts to increase. The camera shot used in this little part of the clip was tracking shot, long shot, low key lighting. The colour that is mostly used is black to creates shock and tension to the viewer as they cannot see whats happening and could only hear the sounds.
