Silence of the lambs

The opening of this film has a woman running through a woods doing an assault course. In this clip there is diagetic and non-diagetic sounds. the diagetic sounds such as, the woman breathing and the birds add to the suspense of the film because they are normally associated with death. The non-diagetic sound is creepy which sets the atmosphere that something bad is going to happen.
The mise-en-scene in the opening is very dull. for example it is set in a woods which has a fog over it. The fog gives the feeling that the film may be unclear. The leaves on the ground give the i impression that it is around autumn/winter which makes the film feel lifeless.
The camerawork in the opening is quite smooth and fluid. They have used a pan shot to open the film, followed by a tracking shot. We think this gives the impression that she is being followed. we think this because the tracking shot is taken from behind the woman which makes you feel like she is being followed. They have used some close up shot so catch the emotions on the woman's face.
The editing is very simple, there is no special transitions between shots. Also the shots are long which creates suspense and it doesn't give too much away.
