Danger Diablik seems to be a crime caper because at the beginning all you hear is a evil laugh, and then you see men shooting at a man in a black costume. He is chucking what seems to be clothes in to a boat; which could represent him running away. Also the fast music shows he is running away aswell. The audience also don't know who the masked man is until further in the film.
The art of the title sequence - Justice League: The New Frontier
I think this is a crime caper film, because first of all it is about crime fighting super heroes. Also in the opening they use bright colours which fits in well with the comic book style; The heroes fighting the evil villans also represents a crime caper. The difference between Snatch and Justice league is that they are both crime capers but i would assume that Snatch is for the older audience where as Justice league is aimed at the younger audience.
Love actually and Snatch are two totally different genre of film. Love actually is a romantic comedy whereas Snatch is a crime caper. The settings are different to show the genre of the film, but the pace is quite similar, Snatch introduces all the characters one by one and there personalities show through there actions. Also most of Love actually is inside, where as Snatch is outside to show the dangers and risks in the world. Love actually has more sweet, cheerful music where as Snatch has more dramatic fast paced music.
Mulholland Dr. seems to be a crime caper, because in the opening sequence you don't see the faces of the characters in the car until towards the end of the sequence, which creates tension and suspense. Also in the beginning you see the tittle of the film brightly lit with a slight glow on a on a post somewhere and since it is very dark it stands out even more. Also at first, you see the car from the behind driving through the dark roads; Then you see the car from the inside from the lady's point of view with just the head lights as yhe main source of light. The rest of the tittles are in the same brightly lit glowing form; Then we know for sure that this film is crime caper when the two men driving suddenly stop and bring a gun out and ask the lady to come out, but are then in car crash from crazy students who were driving very fast and not paying much attention to what was around them.
We chose to analyse Snatch as we are doing a crime caper with an ensemble cast, which Snatch is.
Snatch starts with a voice over by a main character, informing the audience what the film is going to be about, and giving a little description of two characters, that we know will have a central role in the film. It then cuts right to the action, showing a diamond raid at a secure site in Antwerp. This anchors the film, identifies the genre, and quickens the pace while grabbing the audience's attention. Following the heist is an introduction to all the main characters. Ritchie uses freeze frames which turns into graphics with the characters name/nickname. Some of the characters names such as "Boris the Blade" and "Doug the Head" gives the characters a gangster feel and identifies their role in the group. Ritchie's freeze frame effect has become an iconic and copied way to introduce the main characters of a film to an audience, especially when it has an ensemble cast, which requires many introductions. Between the freeze frames, the camera follows the journey of the diamond which the main characters have just stolen. This shows the fast transition of the diamond turning into money, through stages such as poker games, and smuggling. The diamond is passed from gangster to gangster. Techniques such as fast transitions, jump cuts, camera rolls and sped up footage makes the sequence more interesting and fast-paced, glamourising the diamond theft, and maintaining the audience's attention. The end of the opening sequence shows the first part of the sequence, when the theifs are sitting in the van, looking at the stolen diamond. This shows the cyclical nature of diamond theft and signals the start of the film. The title "snatch" is shown in graphics on the diamond. This shows the relativity of the title concurs to the diamond theft and tells the audience that this is what the film is going to be about.
