Analysis of Cradle to the grave

The music is an organ with the WB (Warner Brother) sign so makes the audience try and predict what the film is about and somewhat confused. It begins with an establishing shot slowly zooming into the car and then switches to a train, this tells me they play a major part in the film. The two locations dark underground train line for where the scene of the crime is happening. The upstairs was where the distraction was happening away from the crime. This shows a contrast between the innocence of those upstairs unknown to the crime underground. The music is fast to create tension and anticipation to see what the crime is e.g robbery, kidnap or heist it then changes to music with the feeling on a faster heart beat as the action is coming closer. There is the minimal amount of dialogue but what you see on the screen tells you what is happening. There is a medium shot of a man coming out of at he train, medium close up of him looking in the direct of where the line points and then pans right to show him meet up with someone else and put on the bag. Switch to close up of Diamond Exchange sign and a close up of hand going up through security measures. The film then introduces other characters in the film The title follows the men underground like a map mapping out the route they had planned prior to the robbery. low angle shot of a house and then a medium shot of a man looking out the window on the phone to one of those that is in the robbery, the outside is in the hills so not the built up area where the robbery is, so it show he has a higher status than the man at the robbery. Invisible Editing to make it seem real also it may show how smooth and seamless the plan is. Pan down onto to a man in a car. Over shoulder shot of man looking in the mirror listening in, audience clueless to who he is. Sunglasses on his face makes him mysterious to he is.
The mise en scene of the underground is train track, signs, electrical cable, bag , rope and ladder. Upper ground diamonds, lockers, camera, table, TV screen, plants, highly furnished and security. There is a contrast between below and above how to worlds could be so different yet so close.
