Gangs of New York Is a film that is largely based on violence and tension, so the use of camera angles, lighting, sound etc is extremely important when it comes to creating the effect of violence and the build up to a violent scene. I have decided to analyse the first 15 minutes of the film, which includes a very extreme fight.
The opening scene of the film includes no opening credits or music but just goes straight into an extreme close-up of the character priest Vallon’s. The opening frame focuses on his eyes, which start to open, because there is no credit’s the idea of the eyes opening proves very effective to the audience as it represents the beginning of the story, therefore it doesn‘t. The close-up then moves down onto his face to his jaw where he starts shaving ,there is no music, and the sound of the shaving is highlighted. The lighting around him is very gloomy, and the only thing in clear view
