The first scene fades in. A cool color wallAnd a gloomy atmosphere just like a cell.

Someone comes in and a chairIs placed in the middle of thecamera

A man came in and sit down to have anInterview.

“Good morning.” a lady said.“Good morning.” he replied.

“ please state your name for the record.” she said“.Danny Ocean” he replied.“Thank you.” she added.

“Mr. Ocean, the purposeOf this hearing is to Determine whether if youAre released, you are Likely to break the lawAgain. Well this was yourFirst conviction, you haven’tImplicated though neverCharged. What can you tellUs about this?” she asked.

“Mr. Ocean, we are trying to find out is was there aReason you chose to commit this crime or was thereA reason you were caught this time?” another man asked.

“My wife left me, I was upset, I have got to a self destructivePattern” he replied.

“she had already left me once, and I don’t think she will do it again just for cakes.” he replied.

“ Mr. Ocean, what do you think you would do if released?” she asked.

He did not answer anything but then a non-diegesis soundtrack is played.The song sounds chilled and jazzy which can connotes of his mood as forThe next scene, he is released.

It creates an enigma code as it did not mention anything about his crime.

The way he walks shows that he seems to be relaxed.He is going to some where else, he is leaving the cells.

Then he comes to another station. Two guardsAre following him walking closer to the counter.

Nobody speaks when they areWalking, it tells us it is serious

Who is this wearing a proper suitAnd looking down(high angle shot) to the ring on his palm?

This guy is probably married.

Then it came out its Mr. Ocean wearingA suit looking down which anchors the ringOn that guy’s palm.

What is he thinking? Is he thinking of his wifeWho had left him alone? Is he going to wear itOr not?

He treats his wife very important.

He opens a door and he is leaving this place.

When he is walking to the car park,He pays attention to things around him.He looks to the left and looks to the right.Is he waiting for someone? Mid-close up is used to make sure the audienceCan see his head’s movements

Typography of white font style is used for“WARNERBTOS.PICTURES PRESENTS”

What is he looking at?Someone is waiting for him?He is looking to our right, maybeHe is thinking something opposite(wrong?)

Then a cut in of a dark blue background with the title “OCEAN’S ELEVEN” typed on the right hand bottom cornerOf the scene. The dark blue color anchors the title as it is an ocean.
