Girl with the Dragon Tattoo analysis

I watched the Swedish version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, without the sound on, in order to analyse them. At the beginning of the opening sequence we see a dark figure walking down a darkened alleyway, showing how the film is a thriller. There are indications that the film is a thriller through the stalking, death and violence shown in the trailer, implying that there is a lot of this in the film, categorising it in the horror and thriller genres. We also see a lot of dark colours in the clothing of the actors and a very dark mise en scene, this signifies how the film is dark and mysterious, and also the colour black signifies danger and death. We also see how the action is very fast paced signifying that it is a thriller and that there is a lot of action and mystery involved in the film.
