The Dark Knight

Suspense is built up during the start of the scene, where there is a slow ticking sound, and music over the top, which is quiet but noticeable, and adds to the suspense of what's about to happen. There is a wide range of different camera angles used, to give the audience an insight to what is actually going on, and so that they can get a thorough understanding of the plot. There is a quick introduction to lot's of different characters, however, most of them are quickly killed off as it is revealed that the joker, who they kept referring to and believed to be simply organizing the bank robbery from afar, has ordered each of them to kill another while he takes all of the money. The pace of the scene is very quick as in the space of three minutes, 5 people are killed and we are introduced to The Joker who is the main antagonist of the film. The quick paced action scene is a indicator of what is to come throughout the film. As all of the bank robbers are wearing masks, there is an enigma created. The Joker takes off his mask to reveal that he is wearing makeup similar to the mask anyway.
