Brick

Brick

In the introduction for Brick we see two characters. The man is curled up along the wall and the other character is a woman who is dead on the floor of the sewer. 

For the cinematography for the introduction of Brick I noticed that the director used a lot of extreme close ups, the use of extreme close ups was to show different parts of each character. This will allow the audience to see what kind of person they are and who they are. For example the man is wearing a glasses, throughout the film you see the man's glasses as a major focal point. 

The sound playing over the clip is mainly non-diegetic. The main score in this is a bell that rings periodically, the bells signify the school bell ringing to show the age of both the characters and to show that they go to school. The music stops at the sound of the locker smashing from here there is little audio apart from background noise of the other people in the school. In the very first clip there should be water noises but the audio is removed so the clip can have silences to build up tension and suspension about what's happening. The music also makes it seem a bit more out of focus and day dreamy as we cannot hear and ambient sounds as you would block out ambient sounds if you were to be in a day dream state.

From the mise-en-scene in this film we can see it is set in quite a modern urban day and setting with the main character wearing jeans and a jacket with some shoes which is what we mainly as a young man who isn't in either an important job or is still in education. 

The editing in this clip is quick cuts when they cut between the two characters. This is to show who the characters are and to show each individual detail of the characters so the viewers can identify them later them on in the film.
