Opening Scene 6

In Splinter the producers use the title effect above to make the audience remember the name of the film. As splinter is in orange and white font it stands out from the black background and this effect makes it bold and striking to the audience. Also the gun shells falling from the top of the screen also give an insight into the genre of the movie and what the plot is about.

Opening Scene 5

In Splinter the producers use this enclosed camera shot to give a sense that the two actors are in an enclosed room, probably a police interview room. Furthermore there is no lighting at the back of the room and this is effective as the audience do not need to see the background they are just focused on the two actors as this draws emphasis towards them.

Opening Scene 4

In Splinter the producers use such title effects as the above to make a memorable introduction to the film that the audience would enjoy. In this scene a map is shown with Paradise Gardens one side and on the other is Greenville Heights. This sets the genre for the film as urban genre as it shows two different gang hoods from either side of the line and we know as the audience that this is where the film is going to be predominately set.

Opening Scene 3

In Splinter the producers use this close up shot of the bullet ricochet injury on Dreamer's head to emphasise what has happened to him in the past and give an insight to the audience to the extent of pain the drive-by has caused. Also the camera is focused on Dreamer's head but there is a blurred women over his shoulder and this adds to the anticipation of where Dreamer is and who is the woman.

In Splinter the producers use such camera shots and effects to create a sense of disillusion and emphasis towards the person carrying out the drive-by. Due to Dreamer and his brother had been drinking beforehand the Point Of View shot from Dreamer is unclear apart from the gun which is a permanent image in his head of him losing his brother.

Opening Scene 1

In Splinter the producers use such wide camera angles to give a sense of the scale of the location of the film. Due to the built up area of the city this film is set in America and also the transitions between day and night in this scene gives a sense of time passing and what time of day the next scene will be in.
