The black clothes of the shooter represents the darkness of his character as criminals often have sinister agendas. Criminals also aim to be hidden, hence the blackness of the clothes against the blackness of the night- The night-time setting is typical of criminal characters in films as this is when most crime happens therefore the time setting of the opening suggests the characters to be criminalistic
- Location of the opening suggests a seedy, intimidating area - typical hang out for criminals
- Operatic music is often associated with gangsters so the background music for our opening influences the audience to believe the character is going to be a gangster
- The fact the character carries a gun is also a clear sign of him being a criminal
Representation of women:
High heels signifies the sex the appeal of women through lengthening the legs - one of the most attractive parts of a woman- Bare legs have a similar effect as the heels as it draws attention to the woman's legs and the bareness of them creates a sexual appeal
- Red (on the heels) resembles the passion and boldness of the woman and makes the character stand out which again makes her a point of focus in the opening.
