(editing notes)
Dreamworks
- long edits
- focus only on him - main character
- cross cut before they meet
- eyeline match
- pictures to tell the story - no dialogue allowing the audience to 'write' in the missing/unknown
- soviet montage
- point of view/over the shoulder shot with Cruise
- fast edits
- tilt
- long shot of talking
- hand held filming in the cab
What the opening achieved:
- mystery - enigma to draw in the audience
- establishes characters
- Cruise - professional, serious
- the switch - something was hidden
- Jamie Foxx - humanises him and stands out from the other taxi drivers
- the body language shown shows a lot about each of their characters
Sound track:
- beat gets louder and faster
- voices coming together
- cuts to different atmospheric sounds
- beat stays the same suggesting that some action is going to occur
- monotonous rift (repetition)
