Mad Max-Fury Road - Opening Analysis









Camerawork
- gradual increase in editing pace builds tension
- editing creates a sense of confusion and anxiety that mirrors that of the main character
- fast zooms onto ghosts faces/branding iron  effectively create fear
- use of stark white lighting creates large areas of shadow which obsure the enemy making them far more menacing
- sudden reveal of the chasters in opening shot very effective

Sound
- whispers of ghosts  grow louder and louder creating tension and confusion in the audience
-first whisper hints at something wrong with main character
- sudden switch from slow monologue to frantic car sounds graps audience attention then the sudden silence adds antisipation which is releved by the sudden apperarance of the chasers

Lighting
- contrast between natural light and the light of the caves creates a sense of confinement
- effective use of shadow to make the creatures look as menacing as possible
