.Mad men opening scene analysis!

 Switches angle from front to back in the escalator then back to over shoulder shot through the door. 

Then switches to men walking down hallway shows power, then talks about the new girl, then switches to 

Her perspective of the new job says how its really great talking about working then the men are talking 

About stopping work binary opposition. This then creates vision his our head, this is then emphasised 

When they go to see their friend who talks to his wife and how he says they are going to his party at a 

club, Will probably cheat on her. It then goes to the women talking to each other about how they should 

see themselves naked in the mirror to then see how they need to improve on them selves. 

Not genuine love just marrying her for the money, his mates think it’s funny that he is talking to his wife 

shows he’s disingenuous. Tracking shot across the office, gives us time to see the environment and to get 

to know the characters. If she gets it right, she will live in the city, if you really make the right moves you 

will be in the country and would not need to come to work. 

Most stand out thing: the bigger meaning!!!!!!

Lift - scene

Camera - very slow zoom, close ups so can read the character, 

Editing - slow paced, long shot duration, 

Sound - 

Mis en send - we are in a lift!
