Inside Man Analysis (Spike Lee, 2006, USA) (Genre1)

The Title Of The Film:
The title of the film is very modern and represents the film will be a thriller from the beginning. The White cold font gives out an Erie feeling

How The Setting/Location Is Revealed:
Firstly, we see a van and a man with a white suit (overalls) on. An establishing shot was taken of this and it gives us questions to ask already. Who is the man and what relevance does the van have to him. The Next shot is in a bank where we see one of the characters with the white overalls on. Immediately we get a sense of suspicion and want to watch more.

Costumes & Props:
The costumes we see are white overalls. It is a deceiving costume as it is made the audience lead to think that it is for something else however we then see it is used to disguise themselves. At the beginning of the film we see a man being interviewed who is in a plain black top. This could relate to a prison.

Interesting Camerawork/Editing:
An interesting shot was when they robbers raided the bank and took complete control. The robbers stood on tables and the camera done a mid shot of all the hostages on the floor. This could represent the dominance they have over the hostages and really emphasis it with their wielding of guns and excessive force.

Title & Font Style:
The font style and title is very modern and is very unique in the way it is brought onto the screen. It can also establish that the film is very modern with the font being curvy. This could be contrasted from another thriller film such as double indemnity as it was made a long while ago, the font and title are much different.

How The Opening Sets Up A Story:
The opening is full of suspense from the start. Firstly, we see a man entering a bank in a special type of overall. We then see more of them, this creates an excitement for the audience as we get a deep suspicion that something is going to happen, presumably a bank robbery. Also, at the beginning, the main actor is seeking. This could be seen as an incentive to carry on watching the find to find out what the outcome is at the end.
