Pans Labyrinth Opening scene

cinematography

  • camera pans a lot 
  • camera movements is disorienting
  • shooting shot of the Ofelia dying
  • zooms into to her eye to show the story from her perspective 
  •  introduction of the captain is from a high angle
Editing 
  • opening shot is reversed 
  • fades give the story a dream like feeling
  • minimal cuts
  • fades into the past
  • cuts through objects 
lighting
  • harsh blue light makes it feel like a fairy tale
  • warm brown lights makes its used for the real world
  • misty 
  • the bright lighting used at some points gives a sense of hope
sound
  • humming lula bye 
  • heavy breathing
  • very dream like
mise en scene 
  • the first sequence is very strange looking 
  • the captains watch show that he is a very orderly man and it also highlights the relationship he had with his father.
