Narrative

The narrative is about 3 bounty hunters who are looking for gold.

The Opening



The opening starts off with the opening titles showing us the faces of each character, the next scene shows us desert scenery and then a man’s face which then cuts a shot to an isolated town. The next frame goes back to the man’s face, we see that he’s looking at two men approaching on their horses, the camera shows us close-up of their faces.



Narrative Enigma

The narrative enigma is which one will find the gold?

Diegetic

The diegetic sounds are of the horses.

Non Diegetic

The non diegetic music is at the beginning.
