Mulholland Drive
In terms of camera, is an establishing shot of a city, the city has many buildings that are tall which suggest they are in America and are on the outskirts near the busy city, yet again it is in darkness but gives the audience some idea that they are near other people who may need help. Te camera uses a close up of the woman's face it shows curiosity and looks frightened this creates tension as the audience want to know where she is going even though at this point she does not know either.
In terms of editing, the opening credits flash upon mid screen and disappears up and off the screen in white capital letter which are against a black scene of darkness. This gives the impression that someone is going to disappear which creates a narrative enigma. This is long take of the scene in which the car is driving it creates a slow build of tense atmosphere.
The sound of the location is quiet at first, when the camera cuts to some teenagers driving a car very fast whilst they are screaming and have fun and disturbs the tense atmosphere and foreshadows that an event may occur. As there is two men who are the protagonists tell the woman who is the antagonists to, 'Get out of the car.' This creates an narrative enigma as the audience want to know why these men want to kill her.
The mise en scene of the opening sequence, a car which is a prop is used in the opening sequence only the back red lights are on, this suggests that there is danger to come which makes the audience feel tense. In the location it seems like a long road which is quiet this may because it is night time there is not many many around which suggest something criminal is happening.
