Taxi Driver
- · The painterly opening shots of the taxi pulling through the fame, engulfed in yellow smoke as it reflects the lights – pulls through on the climax of the brass backing music to the title in a motel-light style font
- · We follow the pain character into a room (tracking shot) still traces of the smoke to introduce him and with the same ominous and dramatic music
- · Low angel shots of the main character establish him as powerful, he appears shifty, amused and guarded – the shot pans in on him as he smiles to himself – draws attention to this and leaves the audience on a close up of his face
- · The shot of the man behind the desk from behind the main characters back pans upwards as it appears that he has caught him out and this shows the rise in his power
- · Echoing shouts in the parking lot and all the yellow taxis in rows
- · He walks out onto the dingy street – again with the taxi’s lined up and the antique tint on the image
