Titles: There were no titles in scene one, this is uncommon in the thriller genre, however it signifies the unique style of this film.
Mise en Scene: The scene opens with a long shot of the black and white balcony, surrounded by the busy city, this is conventional to an action thriller. Followed by the introduction of a woman, the only colour in this image is her blood red dress and lips this signifies danger. A suited man walks into shot, he is only in black and white which signifies less importance, however he has a gun which signifies he could be the villain, also conventional in an action thriller. Low key lighting surrounds the location creating a dark and sinister mood. The low key lighting allows both characters to hide half their faces behind the light creating a conventional mysterious mood.
Camera: The scene opens with a centralised long shot of the woman surrounded by location. However when the man enters shot she is marginalised to the left which could signify her vulnerability. During conversation the camera jump cuts between close ups of the characters so create continuity, then is followed by a close up of the lighter which signifies danger, followed by a extreme close up of the cigarette which helps the audience to connect with the character. The camera changes to a long shot of the couple kissing then a jump shot to a mid shot of the killing, this is conventional of an action thriller.
Editing: Through out the scene there are a series of jump shots and straight cuts to produce continuity. It also is slow paced to reinforce that dark and mysterious mood which is quite conventional in a thriller.
Sound: As the scene begins low key non-diegetic jazz/soul music is played in the background, followed by non-diegetic narrative to keep the pace of the scene, the narrative is reinforced by diegetic conversation for continuity, accompanied by the ambient sounds of the city creating realism.
