For my own film opening I would like to use similar shots to these- especially the alarm clock being pressed and the tilt down of the everyday items. My main character will be similar to Carl in the sense that they are unhappy with their life but must carry on with the day.
I can take inspiration from the mise en scene and cinematography. However the editing and sound will most likely be different so I will have to look at another scene or opening.
Music- Calming and graceful, has some upbeat elements which contrast with the slow motions. Adds humour
Costume- Striped pajamas and suit- smart and serious. Glasses- intelligence. Hat- hides face. Grape pin- symbolises memories and creates sadness
Setting-Regular medium sized house. Old ornaments and everyday items. Pills- suggests health condition
Style-Simple but overall sad. Upsetting for young audiences to see what life as an elderly could be like. Saturated colours create coldness and dullness compared to rest of the film.
Shots- Close ups- creates understanding of character by items they use. Long shots/ loose frame-establishes setting and creates isolation for character. Tilt down- Point of view from character
