tone: in bonnie and Clyde the tone is mostly light hearted and comical. this is until the final 20 minutes of the film where the police start to close in on the barrow gang and end up killing bonnie and Clyde at the end. the final scene uses quick cuts back and fourth between bonne and Clyde as they know they are finished. the tone changes from light and funny to suspenseful and gory

realism: the films realism comes through the ending of the film where bonnie and Clyde get shot by the firing squad. the use off blood bags make the film more realistic as it makes the audience think they the people getting shot were real people. it also helps the film was based on a true story

visual style: they use of tracking shots and large panning shot fits the French new wave style
