Titles- the opening of the film shows the title in white with a sophisticated font with the background of a velvet material which is the colour blue.
Sound- the non diagetic sounds starts of slowly then goes on to being louder and creating tension for the audience as it moves into the opening sequence of the film there is the music being played of a man singing ‘blue velvet’ which shows innocence because of the way he is singing.
Editing- starts of with a slow shot of the flowers. Then the second shot of the children crossing the road. The opening explains the whole film. Also the music being played at the beginning suggests that the film is about a woman. Several shots switch back and front showing the man then the women and then the man again.
Camera- mostly long shots and mid shots taken but close ups of shots where the viewer’s attention is needed.
Narrative- the clip gives away the story as there are a lot of shots in the opening to show what the film may be about. The film is a thriller but it does not show it in the opening sequence as it is not showing mystery as other thrillers do and it also does not create tension for the audience.
Background- it is a 1986 mystery film. It is written and directed by David lynch. It grossed a total of $8,551,228.
