Gone Girl

Gone Girl Title Sequence from Faris Abass Jibril on Vimeo.

The non diegetic sound track sound is slow and keeps pace with the slow paced cuts, this shows the mystery and drama of the piece, accompanied with the voice over, it contrasts and evokes the audience to feel conflicted. The shots at the beginning of the sequence are close ups from a higher perspective, suggesting that we are looking down on the character and are superior to that character. It also suggests an intimate relationship with the two characters as the male character strokes the female characters hair. The character's eye contact in this scene isn't broken, which could suggest power over the other character, or perhaps links the audience to this particular character. The mood and ton of the piece suggested by the light and saturated colour palette and the cross fade transitions suggest a softer atmosphere to the film, showing the 'perfect' life. The following shots show a town, suggesting a trapping environment as the town is isolated - this also suggests that the male character are alone.
