Cape Fear

Yet again, like any other thriller film, it will make you ask questions because you feel a little bit confused. Even though this film was made years ago, it still has the same conventions.

One of these conventions are is the music being played over the shots of the man walking through the town, into the hotel. The music sounds like organs being played. This type of music builds up tension because it sounds very dramatic.

Cape Fear makes you ask questions. The five questions that I noted down which I would like to know are:
1.Who is the man walking?
2.Where abouts is he?
3.How comes the colour changes from black and white into colour?
4.How did he get into prison?
5.What is meant by the title of the film 'Cape Fear'?

The following camera shots are being used through out the opening sequence of this film:
-Establishing shot over the prison
-Long shots of different people walking through the town
-Panning shot following the man
-The man smoking the cigar (close up)

In the newer cape fear introduction there is a main part what I liked which looked very spooky and eerie. The part is at the end of the opening sequence where the colour of the eyes change. I have tried adding this into my opening sequence when Elise is brushing the dolls hair.
