Question

How does the style of Pulp Fiction affect the experience of watching it? Pay attention to camera movements, angles, mise-en-scène or anything else that seems relevant from the chapter. How does Tarantino use these things to increase suspense, create atmosphere, or make social commentary?

Answer 1

Quentin Tarantino is one of the most celebrated filmmakers who rose to prominence with his unique way of presentation of the characters, cinematography and suspense sequences. If anyone else other than Tarantino directed the movie, it would have not been the same way as in the suspense in the movie is not carried out by just the scripts but even though camera angles.

In the beginning shot itself when Vincent and other person open the car boot space, the camera angle is positioned on the ground not revealing what's in the car.

There were many such scenes that increase the suspense, for instance when Vincent opens up the briefcase, the camera was placed behind the briefcase and half of the face of Vincent will be shown, which adds up to the suspense. On top if it, the aesthetics and lighting he leveraged elevates the suspense scenes.
