 Brief description/ introduction:

The following texual analysis is crime thriller 'Good Fellas'

i am going to watch the film opening a few times so that i am filmiliar to what happens, so that i can analyes what happens in each shot, including camera shots, mise en scene, music, characters and settings. I will be writing down notes of each shot.

. 'New York, 1970' this tells us the setting of the film.
. No dialogue.
. Silent for a while, then the sounds of a car driving past.

. Shot of the characters, because they are the first characters we see, shows them as maybe the main characters.
. Close up of the driver, shows him as 'more important'.
. sounds- quiet banging coming from the boot.

. Dialogue- talking about the banging.                      

.Shot of the back of the car, implies that there is something in to because it is only a focused close up on the back.
.No dialogue.

. No dialogue at this point. Just the sound of the banging and wildlife in the background.  

. Shot of the person in the boot.
. Covered in blood, shows him as the victim.
. Dialogue, the man in the boot saying "no no no"






.The shot focuses on the character which implies that he is probably the main character.
 .No dialogue.
 .Smartly dressed, shows class.




Conclusion.

The minimal dialogue from the actors in this first 2 minutes shows them as quite worried and the situation they are in.
The use of close up highlights the main parts of the scene.

From this opening scene i have learnt that, you dont need to involve alot in the first few minute, not much happens. Its is mainly about introducing the main characters and introducing the plot of the film.
