No Country For Old Men - Thriller Opening

- Static shots of Southern USA landscapes, lack of movement indicates emptiness, but highlights the areas as important places.
- Natural lighting and lack of soundtrack give the voice over an air of truth, no concealment.
- Only non-diegetic sound used is voice over, adds to emphasis of words and suggestion of truth.
- Voice over is low and slow, with a regional accent that gives it some kind of authority or knowledge on the shots of the country.
- Long shots coupled with the pace of the voice over give an air of anticipation, but no tension; very matter of fact.
