An Inspector calls

The film begins with an extreme long shot of a television, and the noise of a video playing. A new style reporter appears on the screen and begins to read the chorus. Instantly, the viewer becomes familiar with the news reader, making it accessible to a modern audience. Also, the newsreader is communicating to the viewer in a very conversational manner. As the reader reaches the end of the chorus, it appears to suck the viewer into the screen. Synchronize sound is also sound at this point as a fast forward sound is played.

As the film progresses we cut to an establishing shot of "Verona", the camera very rapidly zooms in as if travelling down the street of a modern city. This common site familiarises the viewer with the surroundings. This is very effective as we instantly can relate to; skyscrapers; cars and traffic. These features help make the film accessible to a modern audience yet again. Also, this establishing shot makes it very clear we are in Verona, despite not being the traditional Verona of Italy. By the end of the street we see the statue of "Christ", he is portrayed as looking over the two families. This is modernised in one main way. The two families are represented by towers; one stating Capulet; and the other Montague. At this point I think the atmosphere is made appropriate fear the music, a very dramatic choral style. In my opinion this very effective as it builds up tension and excitement. Yet again the camera zooms in, but this time on the statue's face. Almost instantly there is an extreme zoom out and a cut to a "Verona beach patrol" police car.
