V for Vendetta opening scene
Genre- Thriller
location- dressing room- theatrical/ intimate bedroom
costume- cape, mask, cloak >> villain << red and black connotes this
-both wearing black- work in the night
-dolled up >> damsel in distress- only way to earn money by being a prostitute
sound- eery and creates mystery and tension
lighting was dim - shadows
the shots flicked back and forth between V and Evey conveying that they are to cross paths >> foreshadows V saving her
Messages
evey and V have disguises >> hers is suttle
>> his is 'full on'
both watching news channel >> both don't agree with what is being said >> both have same views
the man's head takes up most of the screen to show power - facist >> feeding the people beliefs >> talks as if he were God
Representation
both scenes co-inside >> show they will cross paths
masks >> V: literal ; Evey: makeup
camera angles- V low angles >> dominant - power
Evey- eye-line yet tilted up to show that they still have some power over her
cloe ups of evey show half of her face- shows half her personality and half in shadow >> there is more to uncover about her character
Themes- dystopian
government conspiracies; oppressive >> man on TV dictating own views
accusations of hate >> minorities are targeted >> experimented on to make superior race
discriminations >> living in fear
Narrative
close ups show V is important in film
back and forth between v and evey show that they will cross paths >> similar
zooms in shows wise and important << TV man
TV man shown in different homes >> big impact >> V carries knives in cape shows no one is conforming >> uprise eventually
Dominos- it only takes one to start the series of events
fire symbolises he starts the anger and uprising
rain symbolises that she is the one to put the fire out >> she will finish it
