Codes and Conventions


The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo



Sound


The music in this is intense and has a fast rock vibe to it. You can tell by the music that the genre is thriller/ drama.

Titles


The titles are white which contrast with the darkness of the background. 

Images


The images are in the colours, grey, silver and black that are keeping with the dark look of the opening titles. The images are quite sexual but have a sense of pain and restriction in them as well.


Saturday Night Fever





Sound


The sounds that you are able to hear are the trains, cars beeping, and swearing. The music is non-diegetic which means that the actors cannot hear what the audience hears.  You can tell by the music that the movie is going to be quite comical and funny.

Titles


The titles are red and bold. They they are the main focus with the image moving behind it. The font is quite big and bubbly. 

Images

The opening shot of the movie is of Brooklyn Bridge in an aerial shot. Other shots that are used are low angle shots showing his shiny shoes and him walking down the street. He wishes that he was rich and likes to think that everyone knows who he is. He has dreams of success.
