As more research of a Thriller we watched 'Red Dragon'. The orchestra starts the film off which is set in a theatre. Upper class and intelligent people go to watch the orchestra so this shows you that Lector is clever as he is sitting watching the orchestra. The shot of the Orchestra is an Establishing shot as it shows you what the set is. >> The shot is a long shot as zooms in very slowly but goes with the music. As the music gets louder and more powerful the shot gets more into the center piece of the opening of the film.
There is also many different props such as scrapbook, pictures, knifes, guns, paper articles, reading books and cook books.
Lectors house is big and old. The furniture is very traditional and expensive and the house is artifacts and cultural. There is allot of books and ornaments around the house. This shows that Lector is wealthy, cultured, clever and educated. As Graham looks at the cook books he realises that Lector is the killer. This shot is a reaction shot as is shows us the characters expression on there face, such as when Graham finds out Lector is the killer.
There lighting is very dark as this reflects the mood and the characters.
There are many pans as this shows the spatial awareness of the shot and scene.
There are allot of cuts which are slow and steady, but there are also quick cuts so it bring you into the film. There is also allot of continuity editing.
The sound goes with the clips and shots which is called parallel shots. There are also alot of strings, screething, and edgy sounds. It also builds up allot. This occurs when Graham is looking at the cook book then realises Lector is the killer, then the music goes up as Lector stabs Graham. 
The text of 'Red Dragon', one word is in red and the other is in white. This shows that there are two sides to a person. Such as Francis he has good and evil in him, and Lector is very clever but is twisted.
