Charlotte's research task (KILL BILL VOL.1)

CAMERA -

• Tight framing to create restricted narration - BCU on Kiddo's face & BCU on Bill's feet - hides the identity of Bill and the fact Kiddo's pregnant.
• 
• The first shot uses still camera work - to create suspence.
• Panning to follow Bill's feet towards Kiddo - makes the audience question who it is, and whether he's done this
• After the opening credits, there is a slight low angle of Kiddo - makes the audience think she is dead

MISE EN SCENE -

• Interior setting - hard wooden floor panels reflect the sinister action.
• Bill's embroidered hankerchief creates an engima about Bill.
• First shot - side lighting on Kiddo's face - highlights injurys and veil
• Lighting on Bill's feet suggest he's walking into the room as the light is coming from behind him
• Composition of the first shot allows us to see the veil - married or about to get married?
• Costume, hair & makeup allows the audience see the violence Kiddo's been through.
• Bill's shoes & hankercheif suggest wealth
• After opening credit's silloutte lighting is used to suggest Kiddo's in a coffin dead - however during the song the lighting changes to reveal light pouring in through a window, suggesting she's still alive.
• 

EDITING -

• Cross cutting to suggest Bill walking towards Kiddo, composition of the shot allows the audience to see the tip of Bill's foot by Kiddo's shoulder
• Black and White used to suggest this happening in the past, and to create suspense
• Title sequence between the shooting and sillhoutte scene, allows the audience time to think she's dead.
• Before the first shot a quote is used to suggest a major theme of the film. "revenge is a dish best served cold"
• The sillhoutte scene is one long take - which gives the sequence a long pace

SOUND -

• Opens with only diagetic sound, you can hear Kiddo's breathing before the first shot is revealed
• Footsteps sound bridge, so that as an audience you can tell that they are in the same room
• Foleys of Bill's bracelet and hankercheif movement - highlights the importance of his name and status
• Foley effect of a gun being loaded & shot - this is important as the gun is never shown (restricted narration)
• Only diagetic sound in the first scene - dialogue (Bill's monologue and Kiddo's retort)
• Sound of gunshot used to cut the scene and enter into opening credits
• As opening credits start it switches to completely non diagetic parallel sound... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqDHB0i4PQU
