Section 2- Opening sequence too Silence Of The Lambs

Mise En Scene
The first thing you see in the opening of the film is a camera shot of a forest. It looks really eery and mysterious, the trees are bare which could symbolise that everyhwere in the woods is empty and secluded. There is a lake shown which is a typical convention in a thriller film. This gives the audience pleasure of  recognition because they would know what too except with the upcoming events. 
Also, the colours used are very bland which creates a mysterious atmosphere. The trees that are clearly shown at the beginning could symbolise lonleyness because they have no leaves on them. This could show that the victim in this film is lonely and has nobody to help her.
You then see a women running through the forest like she is on a obsitcal course training for a job. Keeping fit. This shows the audience she is very fit and healthy.
The dark lighting foreshadows mystery and the mist obscures her vision.
There were also three signs shown as the character was walking into her works building, Pain, Agony, Hurt. Sence of urgenry and makes the audience feel tense as they know something is going to happen. The fact she was training on her own also gives a sense of isolation.
Character
The female character introduced seems very job orientated but very alone. Their is a part of the introduction where she is in a lift full of men. This symbolises that she doesnt fit in and the job she has is very male dominated.  In steriotypical thriller films the women show a lot of flesh and take pride in their appearance to show a more weaker and conventional female character, in this the female character doesnt take pride in her appearance and not at all objectified to other Thrillers.
Sound
Gradual build up of music. Becomes more fast paced and louder as she progresses with her training course.
You can hear the characters breathing. (exaggerated) (fear, frightenend)
Camera Work
The camera was behind her when she was running as if someone was following her.
You could see the side of the characters face and you could clearly see someone stood next to her but the face couldnt be identified. Captivating.
