Romance – Moulin rouge
Mise en scene at the beginning of the film is of red curtains and an audience, as if in a theatre. The film starts with the audience applauding, then the conductor takes over and diegetic music plays. The music is calm and soft and familiar to us “the sound of music”, it is played by an orchestra. The music then becomes quite fast and upbeat as Moulin Rouge is written across the screen in red, the use of the music “the cancan” can symbolise that the Moulin rouge is a fun place to be in and the use of it being written in red could symbolise the dangers in the film, however as it is a romance, it could connote love. Paris and 1900 is then written in on the screen so we know where the film is set and the time of year. The camera starts to zoom in on the screen that the audience is watching, they use special effects to make look as if it is an old film (also in black and white). There’s a mid shot of a man singing, sitting on the roof top, and the view of over his shoulder is Paris. He sings a calm, quite depressing song (of which links in with mood for the next mise en scene of the man telling a story about losing the love of his life). The camera then does an establishing shot of Paris and its streets; it is not in film view anymore so it is as if we are going along with the camera, which is panning rapidly around the streets of Paris, there are long shots of strangers on the streets and the camera will slow down and stop to do a mid shot of some of these strangers, so we can get a good look at the expressions on their faces, this helps us to know the mood of the people living in Paris. The camera continues to pan around Paris, till it comes to an open window, of which it zooms in on this window and picture becomes normal and in colour, to show the present situation. Film editor

Sci fi – I Robot
The camera pans around the room as he looks for the robot, that he believes is in the room.There is also the use of the camera zooming in on all of the broken parts of the robots and as the camera zooms in and forms a close up shot on the face of the robot, of which we are all anxious to see what is about to happen next because we all know it has something to do with the robot that there was a close up of, which typically happens in thrillers. The camera also goes into an over the shoulder shot because as the Camera is panning it views the male in a long shot and over his shoulder is the female; this is so we can see the surroundings.
Panning around the poem when searching for someone is typical in sci-fi’s symbolic codes. When the robot holds the gun up against the male, the female says he’s not dangerous however you can tell by the expression on her face that she doesn’t know if the robot will react. Also the expression on the males face he is unsure as well, although it seems as if he is expecting a reaction, this is a typical thing to do but not just in this genre.
The fact that is in a lab type place is typical for that genre.
