RESEARCH #12- Lord of War- 2005 by Andrew Niccol

- There are 21 titles in the sequence

- The main images in the sequence are the production, transport and use of one bullet. The connotations of this sequence show us that the production of a bullet has become a business. This tells us the commerce involved to get one bullet from a factory in Russia to an African militia, half way around the world.

- This war film is symbolized through this bullet. The film itself is about someone who makes money out of wars and this bullet represents how what he manufactures gets to a war.

- The opening sequence gives you the tone of the film but doesn't give us a target market. The music and manner of the filmmaking show us that this film is visceral, intricate and real.

- The use of CGI in the sequence is done really well. Even though there are parts that look dated, there is a lot of groundbreaking camerawork to follow this small, little bullet. The use of transitioning from one country to another with the box is also well done.
