NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN

No Country For Old Men


The opening for No Country For Old Men begins with a voice over, with a man stating his opinion on life. We the get to see a beautiful sunset or sunrise, which makes the audience think that everything is calm and humble. We then notice that there's not that many people within this place, meaning if anything was to happening the no body will no about it. The man talking then begins to talk about the appalling crimes which takes place there, at first the beautiful scenery got the audience believing that everything was calm but it actually a bad place. Afterwards we see a Sheriff put someone in the car, we don't know who he is and what his part is in the movie. Which then takes us to jail, where the man placed in the police vehicle murders another man. He then escapes, and gets into the police car, takes off and kills another man.



Editing
In the beginning the moving had a very slow pace to it, introducing the beautiful scenery however its also showing us how deserted the place is.It then begins to pick up pace when the man gets arrested and put into the police car. When we get to the bit where he's in prison, the editing then gets faster, this is to show that there is a sense of trouble, which there was when the man was killing the officer. There was especially a fast editing when the officer was struggling because he man had to put in a lot of strength to try kill him. It then began to slow down when he got into the car, all of a sudden he stopped this man, then he pulls out this gas pipe and we get to see it in a different angle him placing it on the mans forehead and all of a sudden the man get killed.
Mise En Scene
The Mise En Scene concludes of a beautiful scenery to begin the movie. It then goes onto showing a police car with a man being placed into the car. It then changed and went into the police cell with the man being killed. The killer then leaves the police office and then gets into the car and then begins driving away and then stops at a whole different scenery. Then the scenery changes again to the near a farm, where a man is hunting a couple of deers, the he walks away after missing and then walks to another area where there is all dead bodies on the floor.
Sound
At the beginning there isn't as much sound as we should normally expect. It begins with a bit of dialogue, with the man speaking about his life. Whilst he's talking it cuts to a different image each time. We then see the police car and we can hear the police radio trying to bring through some information. Then the man enters the police car and then drives away, to the police office, where we can hear the diegetic sound of the police man talking on the phone. When the man then begins to strangle the officer, we can hear the officer struggling and little and the sound of his boots hitting the floor.
