Tarsem Singh, in his movie The Fall, shows exceptional usage of visual story telling, or mise-en-scène. Characters and themes are introduced within the first two minutes of the film without any usage of dialogue.

The opening scene of the film starts with a series of people yelling and panicking in black and white. The black and white filter alone…
