No Country For Old Men Opening Analysis

Camerawork
- throughout most of the opening the camera just  cuts through various bits of scenery using a mixture of mid and long shots
- eventually the camera pans round this sudden movement draws the audiences attention to what is being shown which is a man being led to a police car
- mid shot of villian being forced into car cut to close up of canister being placed on seat
- mid shot as policeman gets into vehicle
- tilt up shot as car moves past into distance


Sound
- non diagetic voiceover throughout - conversational
- no dialogue from those on screen
- no soundtrack


Lighting
- all natural light showing a sunrise

Editing
- all just for continuity

Mis En Scene
- uniform of policeman and car sets the film clearly in America
- canister adds a intriguing note to the story
