Sweeney Todd


The unsettling music opens the scene with a CGI dark, gloomy landscape of Victorian London, the spits of rain we see matches the eary mood of the opening. We do not see any characters instead credits are used to introduce each one and as the credits appear there is ‘the journey of the trickle of blood’ which shows where the story begins and where it ends. The change of the music suddenly appearing to become more tense and a faster pace creates suspense. Also the use of blood instantly informs the audience that it is possibly a story of murder and the blood, music, jumpy movements and eary feel together imply that the film is a horror. This presents to us that it is a film which may appeal to an older audience. Having said that, The CGI makes the film appear as if it’s is animated which usually appeals to a younger audience but soon found out it’s is not all CGI effects although CGI is heavily used throughout I believe to create what is almost like a ‘story’ or ‘dream’ like manner.
