The Dark Knight- Joel Bromley

I looked at The Dark Knight beginning scene to look at the tension it makes. In the beginning scene it shows a bank robbery with robbers in clown masks, straight away the music is a deep slow beat, this makes the audience feel shocked that something so cheerful can be shown as a dark character when people use clown masks loading guns. camera shots used were mostly long shots to see the robbers shoot and close up shots for breaking into the vault and when the bank robbers were shot at to show how tight the cover was and the vault was a trap by the Joker.
