Kill Bill

From the 2 scenes we watched in Kill Bill, we can tell that they differ a lot. In scene 1, it's very dark. As she is put into the coffin, there is a light, which soon turns into darkness as the man hammers the nails into the coffin. The vanishing of the light indicates that this may be the end of all hope for her. However, at the end of the first scene/beginning of the second scene, she turns her flashlight on. This reopens the glimmer of hope as she starts to find her escape route.


In the scenes, props play a vital role. These props help her to get out which shows their importance. In the first scene, there are hardly any props used, which may be because her hands and legs are tied up. She does however have a torch, which goes off at the end of the first scene, ending all hope and showing her giving up. However, in scene 2, she finds a pocket knife, which she uses to cut her hands free and then punches her way out. This shows her determination to escape.


Sound is also quite important in the scenes. In scene 1 there's sad music playing. This could indicate death and could even make us feel quite sorry for the woman. However, in the second scene, the music speeds up and becomes upbeat. This may symbolise that there is hope after all, and
the music could also show her triumph. This sound is non-diegetic, which expresses this point. When she escapes, the music stops, signifying the fact that she's safe.


As well as this, she makes diegetic sounds , for example when she's crying in the first scene. This impends doom on her and shows her fear. She also shows her fear with heavy breathing, indicating that she is terrified. When this panting stops, it means she's given up. In scene 2, she starts making sounds of her trying to get out, which shows her determination to do so. Her panting remains to be non-existent, which represents her belief which contrasts from scene 1.
