Analysis of Silence of The Lambs
Silence Of The Lambs (1991)
In the first couple of minutes in the opening sequence of the film we have some incidental sound to suggests that the genre of the film is a Horror Thriller. It starts from a gloomy, foggy forest were the female character is jogging. Then some eery music starts playing which makes the audience doubt the woman's life, this is where we think that she will be kidnapped or killed but then she is interrupted by a man with who looks like he's has high authority because of his clothing. After this her destination is revealed to be a building with-in the forest, with male soldiers training, this building turns out to be a FBI academy. Very few females are shown during the sequence.
Another woman is shown crossing the protagonist, they exchange a high five in a medium-two shot, To show they are friends.
During the walk there is a part when the small woman goes in to a elevator full of men, this is a Juxtaposition as she holds her head high, this shows how odd she looks with-in the academy, but she still keeps a strong posture. This is another stereotype that usually men are the Police this is again countered that stereotype.
Although the movies genre is horror the colour and font of the titles do not suggest so.
