Shutter Island opening
The opening non-diegetic
music adds mystery to the boat emerging from the fog. The exposition of the
character’s backstory shows the human side to the two officers, and the death
of his wife shows that his job is the only thing he works for. The marshal on
the island seems glad they are there but is still uneasy, unsure o their
ability to help. The setting of the wards is very upmarket, which adds mystery
due to the dangerous people housed there. The amount of security leading to the
wards, including the man sweeping being in cuffs, leads us to believe that
these people are very dangerous, despite the viewer not knowing why. The second
officer struggles to remove his gun from its holster, after being in the force
for 4 years. There is only one way on and off the island.
