Taxi driver opening

- Columbia Pictures eyedent
- bold red credits 'ROBERT DI NERO'
- smokey car reveals 'TAXI DRIVER' title
- retro look (film made in 1976)
- music loud at first then fades into jazz quieter
- extreme close up of main character (DE NERO)'s eyes
- blurred city shot
- vivid bright colours, looks as if character could be drunk, maybe a point of view shot
- normal night city sights but have had effects put on them to make them look more colourful/exciting
- main character's eyes looking shifty from one place to another
- mid shot of main character walking into bar
- dialogue 'I can't sleep nights' only shows main character
- learn about character: wants to work long hours, so honest?, cheeky smile, non expensive looking clothes, says he's twenty six, perhaps not very well educated, was in marines
- character instantly likeable and easy to relate to
