Walk On The Wild Side

The sequence begins zooming into a black cats face until the cats eyes centralised. To the viewer this connotes that cat will serve some importance in the upcoming scene or further on in the film. The use of low key lighting creates a mysterious sense about the whole sequence, what we see is very limited, just backgroud walls/pipes whilst tracking the cat walking, use of slow pace dissolves at different points of the cats journey, parts inbetween are not nessacery therefore at skipped. Iconic Thriller convention, Binary Opposition is used in the opening, with the black cat on the majoritively white background.
Non-Diegetically added brassband added is iconic of the thriller genre, coincides with the drums building up pace, indexical of something about to happen, when the tension builds the audience know that there will be some climax to come. This is reinforced by the editing, fades and dissolves are used to slow the pace of the opening down until it gets closer to the cats fighting when the editing speeds up. The other cat is a white cat, symbolic of the enemy, as the other cat is different to the one which has been in shot until that point. At this point aspects of an action thriller become apparent, and the pace is much quicker and music louder. This sequence connotes the forthcoming film in that there will be some form of confrontation between the 'goodies and baddies' and we will see the build up.
