Panic Room (2002)

Genre:

The genre of Panic Room is Crime Drama Thriller, I think this because the opening of the film includes a lot of cuts which shows different parts of the city shown in it, these cuts are slow but they build up tension, this consists
with the organ in the background, this is usually associated with thrillers.

Narrative:

The narrative of this film seems to be that they are trapped in one of these buildings shown, I think this because the camera is always panning across building.

Character:

The characters of the film hasn't been established, this give off a mysterious feeling for the audience. The only indication to characters is when there is a shot that includes a signboard which includes two people hugging, being happy, however this juxtaposes with the music, this connotes that there will be a break down of a relationship. 

Atmosphere:

The atmosphere feels dark, this gives the film tension, the tension is prolonged in the opening for emphasis, this gives an idea of how the film, will make you feel.

Themes:

The main theme given off in the film opening is solitude, this is given through there being no one in the opening, this also
gives a mysterious feel to he opening, as the audience is questioning why not.

Setting:

The setting of the film is set in New York, this is shown through the skyscrapers, which are usually associated with New York.

Sound:

The sound of non-diegetic ticking, gives the audience a sense that there's a time limit which builds up the tension further, especially as it is accompanied with the slow and low pitch of organs

Titles:

The titles are floating around, like balloons. These show the massiveness of the city, and that what's about to happen, will go vertically unnoticed.
