Opening Scene 6

In Outlaw the producers use these title effects to make the name of the film and the cast memorable to the audience. This is achieved due to the fact that the colours are bold and stand out from the black background and also due to the word Outlaw having two syllables the producers have split up each title sequence into the left words being in a white font and the words on the right being red.

Opening Scene 5

In Outlaw the producers use such Point Of View shots as the one above to make the audience feel that they are looking through the eyes of Kelly at the thugs in the Subaru. Also due to Joe Jackson being filmed in a medium close shot it adds to the sense of how close the two cars are and how intimidating the thugs are towards Gene and Kelly.

Opening Scene 4

In Outlaw the producers use such over the shoulder (shot / reverse shot) shots as the one above over Sally Bretton and Danny Dyer to give a sense to the audience as if they were behind the actors listening in on their conversation. Due to the style of clothes they are wearing the audience can clearly depict that they are going to get married and by the look on Gene's face they are very happy.

Opening Scene 3

In Outlaw the producers use such Point of View shots such as the one above to create the illusion that the audience is in the car looking out the rear view window with Danny Dyer (Gene Dekker) and Sally Bretton (Kelly). Also the distance of the Subaru adds to the tension as it feels like they are in a real car chase and that they are gaining on Danny Dyer.

Opening Scene 2

In Outlaw the producers use such low camera shots as the above to draw emphasis towards the gun Danny Dyer (Gene Dekker) is holding. This is effective as the audiences view is drawn towards the gun Danny Dyer has and therefore the viewers know something bad is about to happen. Furthermore due to the female actor on the right not facing towards Danny Dyer it shows the audience how no one in the bar is aware that he is carrying a firearm.

Opening Scene 1

In Outlaw the producers use such medium close up shots as the one above to draw emphasis towards Danny Dyer and to create intimidation in this sense as he has blood all over his face and is aiming a gun. Also the camera is focused on Danny Dyer and unfocused on the gun due to the fact that Danny Dyer and what has happened to his face is more important in the scene rather than the audience already knowing that he has a gun.
