Silence of the Lambs
Costumes:
Grey jumper, white trainers and blue tracksuit bottoms. The man who runs after her wears a windbreaker and an F.B.I. cap which obviously alludes to the viewer where the scene is taking place. A variety of uniforms are shown: polo necks, chinos, and interestingly whilst Starling enters the lift, she is surrounded by tall men in red polo shirts which illustrates the point that Starling doesn't fit in with the average gun-toting Quantico student.
Lighting:
Natural lighting in the woods, but somewhat murky due to the season and fog. Inside the lighting is artificial and clean in key with the school environment.
Titles/Credits:
Black Arial font outlined with white for impact. If flashes on the centre of the screen.
Camera Angles:
Tracking shot, which follows the agent running. After she climbs up the wall, the camera stays put to watch her leave into the distance. It then catched up with her as the instructor runs to her. This is all in one shot. Tilt down of a signpost with various motivational phrases on it; the camera then pans left to follow the agent once more. Establishing deep long shot of Quantico building. Slowly, the camera zooms into the building to follow the protagonist yet again. Mid-tracking shot of the girl walking down the hallway, and then away from the camera. Final mid shot of Starling in the lift.
Cuts:
Clean cuts, not transitions. A narrative is created through the cutting that's linear. Everything is focused on Starling.
Technical Specs:
Panavision
35mm
Titles added in the editing process
Sound:
Non-diegetic - Soundtrack orchestra
Diegetic - minimal dialog, footsteps in the woods, background ambience of chatter at the academy
