One Hour Photo

Another thriller that i have watched the opening of was One Hour Photo. The opening sequence are really clever especially the way that the words fade in and out like on a photocopyer.The use of the machine noise and the music makes it seem very eery and the black on white is very simple and stylistic. The still shot on the camera really helps to add suspense and it really gives you the sense that something horrible is about to happen. The wide shot in the interrogation room makes it also feel really impersonal. The close ups of the chracters face also help to make the viewer feel really awkwardand none of the shots tilt or pan which makes them seem very much like photos. The use of the non-diegetic sound building to the camera flash also really helps to add suspense and the silence also makes robin williams character feel very alone and it makes you feel very uncomfortable. The mise en scene seems very clinical and clean. When i watched the film i originally felt really sorry for robin williams character but after watching the film and watching the film again it made me view it in a whole different light and it actually really creeped me out.
