Sound
- Long notes by violins
- strings start overlaying with continuous notes [thriller/anxious]
- strings creep into high pitch then cellos do the same but in a lower octave
- diegetic sounds of woodworking/tools
- fire crackling in background
- sanding wood [diegetic]
- man smashes violin against table [no background music then]
- footsteps echo when man walks into hall [music starts again]
- auctioneer speaking
- echo of hall is noticeable
- applause after gavel bangs
- phone ringing off to the side
- strings were always playing 2 notes and then 2 notes [building tension and getting higher and higher] or low/high continuous notes
- camera starts out of focus and camera moves smoothly through violin rack
- camera moves to doorway to show violin/cello woodworking
- camera moves to show a brick wall then another room with the fire and man with his apprentice
- camera moves and then moves in to mid-shot of man with violin and master
- every time camera 'moved', it moved to the right
- fades to black
- title appears then fades
- man appears, camera follows his back and gets to the point where it is practically over the shoulder
- cut to door
- camera follows to POV diagonally
- man leaves frame
- camera moves in, passing over the heads of the auction-goers until mid-shot of auctioneer
- red violin revolves in its case as it is introduced
- sans serif font used
- it goes well with the blurry background which eventually comes into focus
- it is a high angle shot 1st, lowering down on a crane
- this creates a falling feeling
- credits are based around the scene
- the credits are seen in dark areas, not near the actors
- violins are seen when the camera is in focus [adds to enigma]
- a workshop is seen in the beginning
- costumes are older, as if back in time
- therefore they are appropriate for the portrayed period in time
- text is posh same as the opening of the movie in the auction house
- dark colour palate is used [lets us see watercolours vibrantly]
- main star is in different clothes than other auction goers
- this creates an enigma, gives significance and symbolises importance
- shadows are created with the lighting used from the window to create a dark work environment
- thriller
- intense music, smashed violin, intense atmosphere in workshop
- something to do with the red violin and its maker
- movie has something to do with its significance
- the character played by Samuel L. Jackson will reveal the plot
- how does Samuel L. Jackson's character play into the film?
- who's buying the violin?
- how much is it worth?
- why is it so special?
