By Appointment Only - opening scene & titles

 

Mise en scene: Val (the lady in the scene) is dressed casually and her husband which is at home, is dressed in a suit, this suggests that the husband is a business man and he also looks a bit worried this can create tension because he might be trying to commit suicide due to all the stress at work. the fact that Val and her husband live in a mansion could suggest that they are wealthy, this could also suggest that they have so many bills to pay that it can get stressful because Val's family might be going broke.

 

Camera: Val's husband is reading a letter and there is a pov shot of the letter that the husband is reading and the key word in this letter is the word 'bankruptcy' this is the key word because you cannot see any of the other sentences in that letter because they are cut off but the word bankruptcy stands out the most and this is suggesting that Val's family are going broke and this can create tension because this can put a lot of pressure on Val's husband which can lead him to suicidal thoughts.

Editing: there is parallel editing between Val who is driving and talking on the phone and her husband who is at home going through this letter and the scenes keep switching back and forth from Val and her husband, this creates tension because you can see that the husband is reaching for his gun and then it switches to Val talking on the phone, this makes the scene seem very chaotic because there is a lot going on.

Titles: The titles start to appear about 2 minutes and 20 seconds into the movie, the titles are in white, the font is sans serif also the font is a bit small. The titles fade in and out of the screen. The titles last for about 2 minutes, the backgrounds being used are shots of the beach, boats and mansions also one of the characters is driving to a house and the titles stop/finish, when he has arrived to the house.
