Analysis for Taxi Driver

Rating: 8/10 (9 December 2019)

In the beginning of the movie when Travis is walking along the street Travis fades out and then fades back in further down the street.
After this scene the movie uses a voice over of Travis talking about his hours as a taxi driver and what his typical nights were like driving around in his taxi.
You can tell that Travis is an alcoholic because throughout the film he has a drink that is in a paper bag which most will understand is alcohol.
When Travis walks into a shop where it starts off with a few men talking, Travis walks through a gate where he needs to get a ticket to get in and my eye caught the editing. I like how you here the the diegetic sound of the buzzer when he walks through then the movie does short cuts of "stop" and then cuts to the ticket that Travis takes. In this same scene the movie uses a few clips of POV. One time when he leaves the store and looks at Charlie T and then right after he leaves it is used again when Travis sees a man on the street.
The scene when Travis is at the shooting range the movie shows Travis shoot and then cuts to the target that he shot and then zooms in quickly to show where he shot on the target.
