2. Mise en scene
• The scene was set in a small crummy
apartment which reflects where he is at in his
life . You cannot see a clear picture of the set
as they are supposedly filming the mirror
which he is looking into . You can see the odd
poster as well .

3.
Camera
• Firstly, he shows Travis mostly as his mirror
image, which has an offsetting effect. The
mirror’s frame is not in the shot after a few
seconds so it seems like a straight-on view of
him, but something isn’t right. This is a genius
POV technique because this is how Travis sees
himself at that moment and it is chilling to step
into his shoes.Another technique used here is off-
centered framing when Travis starts to really get
into his monologue. This reflects the off-
centered view he has of the world.

4. Editing
• An unusual editing technique is also used
here, which is the Jump Cut backwards or
“rewind” of Travis’ threatening VO as he turns
towards the camera in slow motion. Firstly,
Scorsese used Slow-mo throughout the film to
single Travis out in a crowd.Scorsese also uses
a number of dissolves as Travis is staring at
the poster of Palantine.

5. Sound
• There is no sound apart from the rustling in
his feet and the chilling voice he does , this is
affective as it makes to seem more realisitc.
