Apocalypse Now
How does the director/producer 'hook' the audience?
The scene starts of with a tropical landscape. Which then ends up being destroyed by fire and explosions. The director lets us know the film is about the Vietnam war and that you can expect to you see lots of destruction and violence in the film.
What techniques are used?
Quick flashback images of war are used - to show how the war haunts him
It also shows how obsessed the guy is with war - he says "when im in the jungle all i think about is being home and when im home all i think about is being in the jungle"
Non-diagetic sound used to make the scene seem dream like

How does the director 'hook' the audience?
Starts off with a mini film at the start of the actual film. This mini film is funny and draws you closer to the characters. You become more fond of the characters and care what happens to them. When they can't have children, you feel sorry for them
What techniques are used?
Voice over - we hear it from above , point of view voice
From this voice over we know the guys emotions and feelings and this makes us empathise for them
'snapshot' - seeing camera shots of the past
