Charlotte's research task - (PULP FICTION)

CAMERA -

• Still camera work - objective & shows equilibrium
• Tight framing of just the booth the couple are in - (later in the film reveals that Vincent & Jules are in the same Diner - revealed by non-linear sequencing)
• 
• POV shots of the waitress at big close up (so not to reveal other Diner customers)
• 
• MCU and CU used on the couple in the booth, to show facial expressions.

MISE EN SCENE- 

• Interior settings, average American Diner - gives the audience a sense of Equilibrium
• Props of coffee & used plates show us that the couple have been there for a long period of time
• The composition of having the couple in a window booth, allow us to see a bright sunny day which juxtaposes the story that is about to unfold.
• Bright lighting to allow us to see the characters identity.
• Costume, hair & makeup give us a sense of realism - & set the era of the film (90's) 
• Costume of couple makes the seem like average civilians

EDITING-

• Before first scene, the definition of "Pulp" comes onto the screen- highlighting the films 'Lurid Subject Matter'
• 
• Goes straight into first scene after Definition - throws Audience straight into the conversation
• During the first scene continuity editing is used to create realism
• At the end of the first scene, the frame freezes for a couple of seconds before moving onto the title sequence. Making the audience reflect on whats about to happen.
• (THE WHOLE FILM IS IN A NON-LINEAR SEQUENCE)

SOUND-

• During the Pulp Definition - you hear a foley effect of a car radio - suggesting this is where the opening scene takes place?
• During the Diner  scene diegetic sound of a Diner soundtrack/stereo and customers - creates realism
• The whole of the first scene is completely diagetic sound & dialogue
• As the first scene freezes, non-diagetic contrapuntal music is played to change the mood of the audience..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5OHrQYwRac
