Inception (2010)

The music during the showing of the production companies is powerful and builds tension as the music becomes stronger as we get closer to the beginning of the film (the scene with the water). When we see the crashing of the waves, the music mutes to so all we hear is the water crashing which helps us understand where we are. The director has chosen to use many close ups on the protagonist because doing this tells the audience that he is the main character. The sound of the children playing becomes muffled and echoed to give the effect that there is water in our ears. The children playing shows a hint of innocence due to a child being a stereotype of innocence. When we see the man with the gun, the director uses a low angle shot to look up to him showing that he is more powerful than the protagonist at this moment in time.

We then get a wide shot of the landscape and a house to show us that the people who has found him are antagonists. We then get a shot of the main antagonists back which emphasises that he is ‘top dog’ and makes the audience see how dominating he is compared to everyone else in the scene. We have a close up on a gun and a spinner which shows that they have an importance in the film and this to be the start of a quest. There is then a wide angle shot of the room showing the audience where we are and potentially how rich the antagonist is.


After a small introduction to the antagonist and protagonist, we suddenly cut to another period of time showing another conversation and confusing the audience due to being jumbled around. The protagonist we see earlier is in this scene so this may tell the audience that we have gone into his memories of another meeting in that particular household.
