Layer Cake Analysis



Layer Cake - 2004 - Matthew Vaughn 

In the opening of Layer cake we can already see what type of genre it will be, thriller/ crime. We can tell this by the gun violence that is portrayed in the opening clip. The way the camera zooms out of the scene shows us the crime that is going on in that area, which is followed by an edited, sped up montage to track the use illegal drug throughout the years. The sound they use for the montage scenes is an asynchronous, non-diagetic voice over which creates a bridge between the shots. The voice over can also tell us who the protagonist will be as the camera tracks and uses close up an low angles to follow Daniel Craig.
