What type of techniques did the director use?
Music; This song - Every You Every Me, by Placebo - created the happy mood at the beginning of the scene. It is a feel good kind of song, one you might want to sing or dance too aswell. It fits well in this scene because it makes you want to keep watching it. It also fits in with the scene because the lyrics tell a story. To me the lyrics fit in with the whole movie.
Character Performance; The beginning has two main characters in it, Sebastian and the Councillor. We immediately know whos who. The councillor is the authoritive figure, shes asking Sebastian how he feels, giving him advice. This helps to create a tense mood. You know that its a serious situation, but with Sebastians humor, it takes away the seriousness of the "being at a concillors."
Shot Movement,Camera Angle; The beginning of the film, Sebastian is in his car going down the highway. The camera kind of dives in onto it and into his face. The camera then moves away and does a pan of the city. This creates the happy mood we see, and the interesting mood. It makes us want to keep watching to see what will come next. Its a nice scenic view aswell. It shows us the city and how beautiful it is.
Lighting and Colour; The lighting in the scene is very bright coloured. The lighting contrasts well with the sunny day because the colors you seen in scene are light colors that reflect the sun quite a lot. It makes it look like a nice pleasant scene rather than a more darker, full on movie. It almost is a surprise for the audience.
