The first shot is a tracking shot which moves into
the characters living room, reveal part of the
character to the audience. This is an establishing
shot of his home, the calmness and smoothness
reflects the impression the audience get of
characters being a calm individual.
American Psycho
There is also a series of static long shots
showing the character in full and
introducing the character to the audience.
In this close up in shows the character putting on
a mask and masks are used to hide identities and
this can foreshadow he is the killer and he has
split personalities. It also emphasizes the care
that the character takes over himself.
Throughout the whole opening there
is a variety of shots, including
medium and wide shots. They are all
used to show what he is doing clearly
and all match with the voice over.
The music in this opening is very soft
and relaxing, creating a strange contrast
with the mystery being created through
the visuals and voice over.
