Pulp Fiction
The title
sequence starts with a fast-paced soundtrack. This is used to build suspense,
while potentially foreshadowing that the movies story line will also be hectic and
fast-paced. During the first scene
there is no soundtrack. This makes the audience feel unsure about the
atmosphere and can even suppress certain emotions. This is really effective in
this scene as the characters “snap” between a happy to an extremely
dangerous/hostile temperament. After that there is a medium long shot when the
characters “snap” and start pointing their weapons at the others in the diner.
This shot is very effective as it makes the man seem really big as he takes up
a lot of the shot because he is standing on a seat. Doing this emphasises how
the two characters have suddenly become powerful and intimidating. This change
of the characters temperament is also mirrored by the sudden alteration between
the most frequently used medium shot, to the medium long shot.
