Analysing 'The life of a bullet' Lord of War intro.

I've chosen to do a quick analysis of this as we plan to attempt to do a POV shot of a weapon in our project.

The POV of the bullet, adds more drama into the images, and involves the audience with the action more, making them feel like its them in the images place. This added depth. Putting this into an intro sequence is a very good way to create enigma and draw the audience in making them wanting to watch more.

In 'Lord of War', we follow the life of a bullet, from production, to shipping, to usage. The usage of it, shows it contact with someones head, kiling them instantly. The end of the bullets life, and the persons. We watch the bullets whole life, beginning to end and, essentially, how it was 'born' just to kill. This could, in some way, relate to the soldiers, or insurgents?

Following the life of just one single bullet, and that being the one and only bullet to contact with, and kill the person could relate to showing how much difference just one person/thing can make. Possibly, also, just how much destruction/devestation one person/thing can cause.
