Good start, describe the music, instrumental? What about the off screen voice at the start? Example of dialogue that shows what Tre is like? You can merge the camera shots with the mise en scene to describe for eg the low angle close up shot of the stop sign signifies...
ReplyDeleteThere is quite a lot of sound to discuss also.
