Analysing Crime Film Opening Sequences - 'Murder on the Orient Express'
The final crime opening scene I am analysing is from 'Murder On the Orient Express'.
The opening scene for 'Murder On the Orient Express' contains the following crime genre conventions:
- bold, sans serif font
- mysterious non-diegetic music
- typical setting (urban, though exotic to fit in with the narrative)
- typical costumes - police uniforms, smart suits
- typical character types - the smart detective
- typical props - expensive artefacts/treasure, weapons
- scenes with low key lighting
