Part C; (fully re awesomised)
SOUND: In the first scene of the intro the scene starts off with a jungle back round noise with birds chirping in the back round this is non-diegetic sound because this is setting up the movie to be about the rich profiteering off of poorer people killing each other and most of this drama ends up happening in Africa which is associated with jungles and the outdoors. The next few scenes are of the bullet being manufactured, sold and used and in these scenes are inconspicuous diegetic sounds which go over the back round music as to not draw any attention, yet we still can't help but hear it which is representing how all of these real life things go unnoticed by the majority of the world as is represented by the mainstream music as the non-diegetic sound telling us that we are the ones looking in.
SHOT SIZE/ANGLE+CAMERA MOVEMENT: The first shot of the first scene in the intro is of a long shot on a tilt as to surprise us with a figure of a man in a suit in the middle of a war zone, this shows us that there is something not quite right with him as he is in a war zone without proper equipment etc.. this is later explained in the end as he states that the only survivors in war are the ones selling everyone the guns. The rest of the intro is shot with a track shot as the bullet is followed everywhere but with a high angle and a low angle as the bullet changes places at some points so we end up seeing it from below and above to show us how it's life pans out.
MI SE-EN-SCENE/COMPOSITION: The mise-en-scene of the making of the bullet has the credits rolling by inconspicuously which is called "decoupage" this ensures that the story carries on IE the life of a bullet, this is another representation of how we the viewers will just carry on as normal in our daily lives, because we do not experience what goes on in Africa and most people in the west will not be affected by people in Africa shooting each other and that some people willingly sell them the means to do that and in the end we'll all just end up going home and falling asleep safely not even faltering at the thought that so many people die because someone sold that person a means to kill. The end scenes of the intro are of the bullet being used in Africa and theres a few shots of the back round which has a very bright lighting which is obviously natural lighting as it looks very sunny this shows the roughness and realism of the film because it's centered around the realities of war and that it's not glamorous and that there are people dying in terrible conditions and others sitting high and mighty making a profit.
CHARACTER/PERFORMANCE: In the first scene of the intro Yuri Orlov starts off by saying in a professional manner like theres nothing bad or surprising to him, with the camera in a master shot with a looking room so that we can see all of the bullets surrounding him, that "there are over 550 million firearms in world wide circulation, that's one fire arm for every twelve people on the planet" he says this without showing any signs of emotion. This sets his character up for the rest of the film as he is shown to be a near immoral person lacking a good conscience this is later proved to be true as he is shown in the end to be very aware of the kind of things hes done and his only regret was that he lost his family in the process and not regretting selling arms for war profiteering which in turn is a form of mass murder which is usually considered something that people regret doing. Most of the entire intro is the camera following the main character in the intro which is the bullet, we see it's birth and it's death as it travels all over the world. Presumably from U.S.A to Russia and all the way to Africa where it's life ends inside the head of a little boy. The camera technique used to follow the bullet is a close up track shot because the bullet is the complete focus most of the time and the camera goes where it goes.
