Analysing Crime Film Opening Sequences - 'Snatch'
The first crime opening scene I am analysing is from 'Snatch'.
The opening scene of 'Snatch' contains the following crime conventions:
- a group of men dressed in disguise to commit a bank robbery
- typical props - weapons, jewels, surveillance cameras, a getaway car, money, safes
- rapid editing
- bold sans serif font
- low key lighting
- smart suits
- voiceover
- scenes of violence
- scenes of gambling
- up-tempo, exciting music
- a range of criminal character types, all introduced in the opening
