Moods

One of our main aims is to create intense feelings in our opening sequence. We want to create a dark and saddened mood to represent the mans emotions. An effective way to do this is to use pathetic fallacy. Obviously we can't change the weather to fit the day we are filming but we want to make it seem like gloomy, rainy weather to strongly show his deep emotional thoughts.

We also want to create the mood for the audience, the main one is sympathy. By setting out the table for two but only showing on person there creates huge sympathy as we are aware he has lost someone close to him. We can also portray this by showing the wife's wedding ring as it shows extreme heart break. At the same time as presenting sympathy, the moods of mystery need to be portrayed. We can do this through the use of the crime evidence props. These props will show the audience that a murder has happened and he is trying to solve it. This creates tension and mystery.
