In the opening scene of brick, you don't really hear any on screen sound, all the sound in the opening scene is non-diegetic, The sound starts off really slow and towards the end it gets much faster. The only diegetic sound you hear from the opening is the sound of the water fall, and the sound of the dinosaurs fighting. Near the end of the opening you hear the sound of the dinosaurs getting killed and burnt.Opening scene camera
For camera it looks like its used alot of wide shots, there is a few close up shots of the dinosaurs fighting. Then near the end there's a wide shot of the dinosaurs running away from the aliens.
Opening scene editing
The scene starts of really slowly and gradually speeds up, till the end where the things get more intense. The cuts in the film have a lot of duration between each cut, for example the first cut takes about 40-50 seconds before it cuts into the next cut. The next cut then has a duration of 20 seconds, These long cuts are only at the very start, when things begin to pace abit more the cuts get smaller and smaller, at the start I presume the cuts are that long because of the director wanting to show the whole scene. Throughout this whole opening scene there's about 7/8 cuts.
Mise en scene
From the scene you can see that the time it was recorded was the Mesozoic Era, in this era was when the dinosaurs were around. The background looks really nice and green, this means this means that there was no pollution in them times. The place looks like a mountain area, where there's a waterfall. Also, from the scene it looks like there is an alien invasion, that killed all the dinosaurs. Even though you cant see the aliens you can see their spaceships.
