Camera Shot/Angle/Movement
There are not many shots throughout but we can see the camera is always moving, it is like tracking the phone wire which we can see has been drawn. The camera seems to been quite wobbly and freely moving.
Sound
there is a non-digetic sound which has been added throughout which is quite fast paste this creates tension for the audience. And then we also hear breathing throughout the sequence. This relates to the idea of being on the phone and listening to someone breathing.
Editing
It just seems to be one single shot. There has not been too much editing in this opening.
Mise en Scene
There is not much in this opening the back ground is a white color throughout and then we follow like a black line throughout the two minutes, which we can link up as a cable line for the phone.
Characters
There is no established character in the opening to phone booth.
Locations
We do not establish a location in the opening all we see is like drawings they are like computer edited not really life. There is some building drawn so we can maybe gather that the location will be in a city.
Narrative/Plot
There is no narrative at all in this opening not even in the music. This creates a lot of mystery for the audience. We can link the title though into the opening at we can see like the phone line.
Theme
The theme at the beginning is all about the phone and the whole idea of the character getting stuck in the phone booth by a sniper. this is not a conventional thriller film, and defiantly doesn’t follow the stereotypes.
Visual Style
The visual style is very fast and quick happening, it is constantly moving. And the pictures of the phone cable connect to the name of the film.
Genre
Phone Booth is a film which does not follow the stereotypical view of a thriller, it follows a, complex narrative with false paths, clues and resolutions this is like another thriller we have analysed ‘se7en’.
