Drama/social issues-
Bhaji on the beach is a British/Asian film set in Birmingham.
It tells a story of a British Asian woman who is having problems with her religion and family. There is a tracking shot of shops around; there is an English butcher which sells pork, next to the Asian shop which is contradicting as the Asian shop sells halal goods.
We hear normal western non-diegetic music added to the scene, which is followed by Asian music (sound mixing).

Analysis Of The Opening Sequence To Unsual Suspects
We looked at the opening scene to ‘Unusual suspects’, which is an action/ thriller film and was screened in 1995. There were many techniques used in this film divided into camerawork, editing, mise en scene and sound.
The director uses several cinematic techniques and embeds a whole range of other techniques to create a dark atmosphere. The opening foreshadows the sinister mood and atmosphere throughout the entirety of the movie.
A wide panning shot across a body of water is accompanied by sinister music; created to enhance the visual experience. This style of music is used in many scenes to emphasize and to sustain the eerie atmosphere.
Excellent choice of camera angles achieved added symbolism by showing the full sight of the landscape, a harbourside dock through a sustained extreme long shot.
The composer deliberately uses a whole range of camera angles to contribute to the overall sense of mystery, sustained through the film.
High angle camera shots are used in the opening sequence to convey the powerless and ultimately more inferior person or 'victim'. These constantly changing camera angles create an element.
