Characterisation

Veronica is the central character to our film and the only main character that is introduced into our title sequence. She is introduced accompanied with diagetic music, and later police sirens. This all helps indicate the type of area Veronica is in, which is a run down urban area with American inner city connotations. The non diagetic soundtrack which runs through the whole openning helps set the atmosphere and the representation of the narrative. The mise-en-scene is a low light, dull, gray urban envirnonment which helps reflects Veronica's negative outlook on life. The camera pivots around Veronica and does a close up of her face to show her expression, she sighs like she is exhausted from the stresses of life and then there is a blurring editing effect used to transition between the scenes which indicate the blurriness of her mind and life as she has a flashback.
