Shot Types

In my opening of chosen researched film 'Kill Bill' there are only two shots; one close of of The Bride after she has been attacked by 'The Deadly Viper Squad' and one pan shot of Bills feet walking across the chaple towards The Bride. This scene is key to the film as this is the last time The Bride is concious before she goes into a coma and the film often will refer to this opening scene aswell as continuing the story in scenes before and after this.
We do not see Bill even though we hear a full speech from him to the Bride, we do not understand what their relationship is about but we understand that there is history between them and that Bill is preparing to kill the Bride but will not enjoy doing so, referring to himself as masochistic but not sadistic towards the Bride. We know Bill is preparing to kill the Bride when we hear that the object he has been moving around is a pistol as we hear is cock and the Brides eyes widen.
Despite being the only character inshot, the Bride only speaks once. As the pistol is being loaded and cocked she says with all her power left "Bill it's your baby." in order to save her life and her childs life. From this one short scene we have now already learned that the Bride was getting married but her wedding was interrupted by an attack, the Bride is pregnant with Bill's baby despite getting married to someone else and Bill having tried to kill her, all of these make this scene key to the rest of the film and attatches the audience.
This main shot of the Bride is in black and white to draw attention away from all the blood, swelling and bruising on the beaten bride and to focus the views on the deadly conversation between Bill and the Bride, this is also a technique used by director Quentin Tarantino throughout this film aswell as other films of his.
