The tone of the movie is shown in the first scenes mise-en-scene of the intro which is of the main character dressed in a formal suit conspicuously in the middle of a war zone. Which is a little bit comical because you don't generally expect to see a man in a suit at a war zone, the tone of the movie is almost like suspicion and drama because its all about him trying to keep his multiple lives afloat like his marriage, parents, Brother, and his multiple identities from his "gun running" which almost creates a personality on its own because he believes it to be the thing that he is the best at and is addicted to it. And to him he'll do it no matter the situation.
The mood of the opening is scary because he tells us facts that we wouldn't generally think about E.G "one fire arm to every twelve people on the planet." and the next part which is of the manufacturing of a single bullet and its life from being made to getting sent to Africa is informative and just like normal until the bullet is put into an Ak47 in the middle of a war zone and shot into an innocent child that's when it becomes scary because it shows how that sort of thing is normal to the places where guns are sent.
The creation of the intro is a way of making the bullet a character in the movie showing its entire life and death. The bullet was shot with 'CG imagery' so it was animated but the effect gave it an awesome first person effect which is perfect for showing the life of a bullet.The title sequence music is by Buffalo Springfield "For what its worth." The part at the beginning where Yuri says "There are over 550 million firearms in world wide circulation, that's one firearm for every twelve people on the planet. The only question is. How do we arm the other eleven" is a statement that we can assume is true and that it represents his ambitions and how he views the world. It also sets up the next sequence which is of the bullet being made and shows us that that is what people are trying to achieve with the creation of that bullet is to get everyone in the world owning a fire arm.
Looking great: just quickly proof read to make sure you have made yourself clear, then move onto focusing on four film techniques (C). Check my blog for ideas on how to answer the three sections (describe- explain- analyse) for each one. Keep going!
