Constantine

Notes:
This film immediately introduces the setting with subtitles.
The sequence starts with the sound of an old fashioned kettle boiling. This is a good use of Mise-en-scene, because it shows that the characters are quite poor. The Kettle is used quite often in Thrillers Because of the high pitched screeching sound that it creates. This sound unsettles the audience because screeching is associated with danger.
The fan is also a good use of Mise-En-Scene because it moves the setting around it, so the audience is wary of small movements, which puts them on edge.
The sound of the smashing tea cup, is used to show the characters shock horror. The sound is very dramatic because there was very little sound beforehand.
When we first see the main character, every sound that he makes has been very dramatised, and when he drops his cigarette on the floor its in slow motion, all of this shows his power. It also first introduces us to his sound motif of the flicker of the lighter.
