dark knight opening

In the opening scene of the film there are many things that indicate the genre of the film. Such as: what they are doing within the scene by robbing a bank, what they are using for example weapons and lastly later in the scene there seems to be a lot of violence to represent the action.

There are many questions that are to be asked during these opening things such as: who is the joker, why do they wear a mask, how come one of the bad guys survived, who will stop them or where they will go next.

From this opening scene we find out that there is a person who may or may not be the villain called the joker.  We also find out that barely anyone knows about the joker as during the robbery people asked a lot of questions about the joker. We find out that they rob a bank and they are responsible for a lot of the damage caused to the building.

Surprisingly there isn’t much music but as the scene carries on a sudden beat starts to play and this creates a faster pace to the movie giving the feel of rush and action.  Then when the mysterious man reveals himself the mood changes to very haunting music and makes the character very feared. 

Well within the opening scene there are many uses of shots such as : a long shot when the people used grapples that showed us the setting and how dangerous the robbery was, one other one is a close up of what the are using for masks that just shows the viewer that they are going to be bad people but also shows that they are dangerous people doing bad things just by the intimidation and finally the close up of the man with the make up on really showed that he was a very dominant figure to everyone as he looks down at his victms.
