- The non-diegetic music used in the clip has a very ghostly feel to it.
- The appearing images when the lighting changes gives the idea of the darkness concealing secrets. It also suggests the possibilty of danger hiding in plane sight.
- The medical documents indicate someone with severe physocological issues.
- In the first shot the audience is positioned as the villian being shot by a man. This identifies him as the hero in the film whilst illustrating the genre of the film. This man is also the only 'human' face that is shown throughout indicating his importance in the film.
- The choice of soundtrack for the opening communicates to the audience that this man is well known and possibly one to be feared by villians.
- The card motifs used throughout suggests card and casino games which relates directly to the title of the film.
- The use of guns indicates violence in the film which also connotes to the genre.
Sherlock Holmes (Ritchie, 2009)
- The only dialogue in this clip is of Robert Downey Jr saying "Case re-opened". Instantly this connotes to the audience that it is a detective film about a man trying to solve puzzles.
- The use of freeze frames and the yellowed effect gives the illusion of an old book as Sherlock Holmes is a series of well known books. This also helps to illustrate the time period in which it is set as the writing is in an old looking font.
