In a class discussion we watched the opening sequence to Taxi driver, there was a use of loud but quite slow classical music to bring tension. I could recognise the use genre of a jazz instrument, e.g. the saxophone. There were a few camera shots used to show emotion, the extreme close up showed the brewing emotion in the actors eyes. A view shot from the taxi was used to show the setting area he was in. Visual elements were also used, shown when the taxi drove past the fog, this could have been used to show the idea of mystery.The titles at the beginning were trying to get the audience hooked and also explains the actors/characters that were in it. - Taxi Driver
