APOCALYPSE NOW opening analysis

OPENING SCENE

Analyse the opening  of the film  in terms of its use of film form to create meaning and provoke a response in the audience


Cinematography ( use of camera angle, movement and framing ,lighting and colour )

Editing ( transitions, order of shots and sequences, layering of images)

Mise-en-scene ( setting ,key props/objects , costume etc.)

Sound  ( music, sound effects and spoken word)

Performance  ( body language, posture, gesture,  tone, emotional impact etc.)



What do you think the intended response is by the director ?



How does it differ in introducing its main character from the methods used in Casablanca and why ?
