textual analysis kill bill vol.2
The sequence opens with a shot showing the bride walking through a church as it tracks her movement with a mid-shot. This shot helps us to establish the setting and the mood of the sequence as we are able to see her content facial expression. Next it cuts to a long shot of the open church door, whilst diegetic music is playing. The cut to the door implies that the diegetic flute sound is coming from outside of the church. Also, through the door we can see a bleak view of the outside world, suggesting that her future is bleak. Then the shot cuts to a static, mid-shot of the bride, where we are able to see her heavy breathing suggesting she is becoming nervous and concerned by the diegetic sound of the flute.
