Kill Bill 1

During the opening title there is sound in the background which we hear as heavy breathing, this builds suspense and tension for the audience as well as intrigues them because we are unaware of what is happening. Once the titles disappears we are left with a scene of a woman cut and bruised all over, this is shown in black and white to portray a contrast between the past and present and also makes it more dramatic for the audience. The opening shows a non linear narrative which confuses the audience in order to intrigue them even more to carry on watching the film.

For this shot that is shown in the picture there is an extreme close this is to connote her emotions which we see clearly as being very frightened and vulnerable, the shot also portrays her features to show the audience how badly she is hurt which makes us more engaged to the clip.

There is also the sound of footsteps which is made to be loud this makes the audience feel confused because before we see the shot of the shoes we do not know what the sound is. When hearing the sound we assume that it is a heart beat which then creates tension for the audience until we see what it actually is.
