Fallen Angels: Assassination Scene Notes

 Auteur Signature Film Form: 

  • Hong Kong cityscape
  • Dynamic editing – jump cuts
  • Reflections – rain on the streets
  • Pop song creating certain feeling (not romantic)
  • Step printing 
  • Extreme wide angle lens
  • CU of his feet waiting 
  • Jump cuts during the assassination 

 

Experimental Use of Film Form: 

  • Time manipulation – slow motion of unnamed assassin
  • Blood on the lens 
  • Wide angle lens 
  • Phasing sound (tinny)
  • Shower curtain divides the room and matches lipstick of the partner 

 

Experimental Narrative Devices/Narrative Construction:

  • No explanation of why he kills them – feeling not plot (narrative)
