'Taxi Driver' Opening Scene

Today we looked at the opening scene of Taxie driver and i described what  i  was seeing and how this makes it a thriller operning by giving out mystery.


What i am seeing 


  • Close up camera shot of the eyes lets you see his expression. He looks troubled and angry.
  • The red light on his face symbolises anger and fear. 
  • Blick outlook of city shows he doesn't  like it
  • Fog, Sewer fog- this could show known cares about him as sewers are dirty and nobody realy goes there. 
  • The red light in the streets symbolises Prostitution
  • His eyes show he is looking for someone
  • Looks like he is a threat 
  • He knows the streets as he is a taxi driver
  • looks like he knows what he wants, but the audience dont actually know what he is looking for
From this task i learned how to analyze a opening scene and describe how it makes a thriller. I learned the type of camera angles, shots and probs needed to make a thriller opening.
