My opening scene


                           My opening scene 

Mise en Scene
Lighting: The lighting for crime films is mostly naturalistic. Usually low key lighting.
Character: The hero is usually a super smart private detective or persistent policemen. There is normally
a very mysterious villain whose face is rarely seen and whose identity is only revealed at the end of the
film
Props: Murder outline; magnifying glass; police tape; police uniform; murder weapon; cars; torch;
glasses; guns;, blood; evidence.
Narrative Structure
Most Mystery films follow a common structure. The Hero is going about their day to day life. Then a
crime is committed or someone is found dead. The hero either hears about the crime or is approached
by a source and sets off to solve the mystery. The hero will then go out of his/her way to catch the
criminal. A few more people then die as the film progresses. The villain normally makes slight mistakes
that the Hero picks up on. The criminal is always caught.
Cinematography
Close up shots are used to show peoples fear when they discover a dead body or their anger when their
most prized possession has been stolen.
High and low angles to either show a potential murder victim as vulnerable and weak or to show the
killer as strong and in control.
Setting
They can be set in countryside towns with a low population and miles away from a city.
hospitals, docks, lakes, fields.
Good settings for mystery films can be: police stations, big cities forests, city streets, forensic labs,
Sound
Fast paced music is used when the Hero is chasing a suspect. This creates tension as the audience
doesn't know if he will get away or not.
Audience
Usually for people who loves a challenge; determine who is the murder in the film

Shot by shot analysis

                              Black Panther


The scene starts dark as a young T'chala ask about the story of Wakanda and wants his father to explain it to him. His father narrates about the story about Wakanda. He states that a meteor containing great power crash landed on Wakanda. It created life around it and five tribes settled on it until war raged on between the tribes. The tribes were at constant war with each other. Until one warrior had a vision of the of the Panther goddess who lead him to the heart and shaped flowers that granted him super human abilities. After that he then became the king and the first Black Panther. The tribes agreed to follow the Black Panther (except for the Jabarie tribe) and used the vibrainium to create technology that's far more advanced. But as Wakanda was be successful, the world was going into chaos. So they created a barrier to hide them self from the outside world. Then as the world spins around, it then zooms into as what the world looks like now. This opening scene is only one shot with tones of pan and tons of birds eye views of people and objects. Some of the props are some spears and the flower that they collected. The clothes that they were wearing had some African ascetics to them like if they were in the B.C. since this did happened far in the in time. The lighting will shift through back lighting, key lighting, and fill lighting. The sound is the father telling the story while in the background, their music playing which has this African music to it.
