The Da Vinci Code

After watching a 5 minute clip of the film "the da vinci code" we noticed that:


there is dramatic music at the beginning when it is showing who distributed the film, showing that there is tension and that something exciting is going to happen. The song has religious connotations, to show that the general theme of the film is to do with religion.

there is a scene where a man is running through an art gallery, and they have made a lot of short cuts as he is running to make it more dramatic, and to show that he is running from something dangerous. there is low key lighting throughout to create an effect. there is a scene where the man who is chasing after him reveals his face and there is a single spotlight showing his face to create a mysterious atmosphere. this makes the viewer question who he is and what he is doing there. this then gets them interested in the rest of the film and gets them gripped in the story line.

the costumes that they use are interesting because the man who has the gun and who is chasing the elderly man, is wearing a cloak. this means that we cant see his clothes underneath and it creates yet again another mysterious atmosphere as you wonder why he would be wearing it seeing as it is set in modern times.
