Pulp Fiction
Mise en scene
editing
pulp fiction is not played in chronological order we see some scenes before other sets even though they are set after
-
Mia draws a square which a rectangle appears on screen whist talking to Vincent which adds humor the the scene, where Vincent is stressed (33:04)
one example of the use of editing in pulp fiction is when Butch approaches his old apartment the entire scene uses a single shot. While trying to recover his fathers watch Butch crosses over a fence and a yard while the camera follows closely allowing tension to build throughout the scene
Butch begins to head upstairs to the second floor and in order to save time the film cuts once he goes into the staircase and continues once he comes out of the staircase. This allows for the scene to have more flow to it.
the golden glow of the briefcase is used throughout the film to signify its importance but it is never actually revealed what is inside

-
sound
relevant dialogue
from Jules speech to Brett we experience different pov's with different sounds (heavy breathing with sense of confusion in the bathroom).
Diegetic music chosen for Pulp fiction is retro type of American rock & roll, surf music and pop and soul
Butch's actions follows the soundtrack for example his last use of the sword is in pitch with the last note
Tarantino holds shots and does longer takes so that songs can be played for longer which is different to other Hollywood styles
