2. • In this first shot (medium), Panning of
Landscape is used to set the scene.
• The music is mysterious while the lighting is
low/dark.
• This makes the audience want to know what is
going on and gives me an idea of what I can use
3. • The next shot is the title sequence which is
running throughout the film opening sequence.
• This shows a way in which I could present my
title sequence in my opening sequence.
4. • This medium long shot shows the man is
alone in the office who is looking around,
implying he is up to no good, with the
mysterious soundtrack still playing. This
makes the audience want to find out what
he is doing.
5. • The extreme close up on the computer screen
shows the words ‘Delivered’ showing that
something is being given that is to do with
government. It implies that something is being
built up to, as well as the way ‘codes’ keep being
mentioned. This adds suspense for the audience.
6. • This close up of the women (who has appeared in
several shots) also show how dialogue is used to
identify characters. She says “We have all we need”
showing that she is an antagonist character as she
and some unknown others are behind the
mysterious activity.
7. • The female antagonist in this close up now turns and says
“We’re ready” before the title finish appearing and the
scene cuts to the film beginning. This add suspense and
makes the audience want to know what this plan is leading
up to. I think it is important to use suspense in an opening
sequence of this kind.
