The beginning of ‘no country for old men’ is a powerful display of tension building techniques that incorporate mystery and varying camera movement that keeps viewers on the edge of their seat. The director uses the technique of only showing the back of the villains head at the beginning of the movie. This can confuse the viewer and make them more intrigued into the film. Also, the attention to details through camera shots focussing on different aspects of the set allow the viewer to question and pay attention to what’s going on, to piece together different sections of the movie. The voiceover during the beginning credits builds on the story whilst adding tension as the monotone American accent slows down the beginning sequence, leaving the viewer wanting more.
