Pulp Fiction
Name: Jessica
Grundy
My Analysis
Supporting Images
Cinematography &
Camera
Techniques
The cinematography features a number of camera shots, one
that I found that was very common within the title credits was
close up. An example I found was when it showed which
character was talking out of the two protagonists. Another
example I found was when we first see the waitress serving the
table, we see a close up of her face to see her emotion and her
facial expression.
Another shot that was featured in the title credits was an
establishing shot which shows the setting of the title credits.
Featuring in this shot was the background and the items where
the scene was taking place.
Also, another shot I found used within the title credits was a two
shot this was used to show both of the characters in one shot
this is the same as the establishing shot.
A point of view shot was used only once this was when we see
the waitress pour coffee into the woman’s cup through the
man’s eyes.
One camera technique that I identified was track shot this was
used to go past the woman and closer to the man. Also, another
technique I found was zoom, same again, this was used to go
closer to the man’s face to show his facial expression.

Visual Effects &
Colour Scheme
The lighting used was high key, the diner the title credits was set
in, was light inside. You could also argue that there was some
back lighting coming from the blinds behind the two protagonists
making the scenery high key lighting.
Genre Conventions
Pulp Fiction, I believe is an action genre film, I think this because
the two protagonists use a lot of strong language, they are
planning to steal from an American diner, also the title credits
scene contains a shot of the protagonists holding guns in a
threatening manner towards the customers we cannot see on
the screen.
Narrative
At the beginning of the title credits we first see the two
protagonists sat in an American diner eating breakfast. Later on
we find out more about these characters such as; the woman
and the man both have history of doing robberies, but at the
beginning of the title credits we hear the man saying that he
wants to no longer be a part of holding hostages and stealing
from businesses.

Editing Techniques
The editing techniques that were featured in the opening scene
were cutaways this was used to cut from the shot of the man to
woman. Another editing technique I found was eye-line match,
this was when you see the two characters talking to each other.
