candy man opening

In the opening scene to the 1992 horror candy man the first shot we see is of the city of Chicago (where the film was made and based) from birds eye view, this gives the viewer the impression that the city is small and helpless and that someone or something is watching over it or controlling it. whilst this scene is happening the music builds suspense by adding more instruments as it shows the city.after this the screen is filled with a close up shot of thousands of bees on a wall and the voice of tony Todd (candy man) starts talking about shedding blood. The viewer can instantly recognize that this is a horror film because of this scene talking about shedding blood. As this scene is happening it doesn't show the man speaking, this makes the man seem more mysterious and unknown and it makes the audience want to know more about the man
the lighting in the scene with the bees is really dark which tells the audience the location is hidden.
the audience can infer this because there is no sunlight in this scene.
at the end of the opening we see an extreme long shot of the city being swarmed by bees. the fact that the camera man has used an extreme long shot of the city shows that he wants the viewer to believe that the city is small compered to the power of all the bees. the reason that bees are the theme for this horror is because bees are not really seen as cute sweet animals. they are normally seen as quite dangerous and painful insects that people don't want to be around

the fact that the film is called candy man makes it sound like a happy film. this contrasts with the fact that it is a horror film.
