Speaking was a feature- length documentary, starring Fran Lebowitz. In

Scorsese’s films often begin with segments
from the beginning or end of the film, creating a flash-forward, giving the
audience an idea of how the film may develop.
Some of his films also use slow motion
techniques, which helps the audience to bring things into perspective.
His films often use diegetic music, and music
from bands such as ‘The Rolling Stones’ has featured on several occasions. In
addition, long tracking shots are something viewers can also expect from his
films.
