Mise en scene
Setting &props: The setting of the opening sequence is held in a parking space, parking spaces are often used in thrillers as they are very hidden. Parking spaces are always an area where there are not many people walking and so it is not a very public space so criminals know that they can commit a crime there as there are not many people around and so the young boy is on roller skates when it is illegal. The boy is also holding dynamites this could be a representation that the boy is young and rebellious this also supports the idea that crimes are held in parking spaces due to the lack of people there. Costume and hair: The boy is wearing a hoodie which shows that he is a teenager who doesn’t really care about his appearance and he looks suspicious as if he is about to commit a crime. There are also two men who are wearing a black and white suit which shows that they are quite important and seem to be working for the FBI or police. The suit makes them look very professional and higher class than the young boy, the two men are also wearing black sunglasses which makes them look more serious and suspicious. The men wearing glasses could make the audience feel uncomfortable because we can’t see their eyes at one point which could also make us question about their identity. Sound: At the start the music is very eerie and can make the audience suspicious about the surrounding and the boy. From the sound there is a build-up of suspension. There is a change in the pitch of the sound which suggests that there is going to be different actions happening. When there is action happening such as the men chasing the boy there is more of an upbeat sound to keep up with the speed of the men and boy. The idea of the music going faster suggests that there is more action happening than the beginning. Camera: The opening sequence starts with the camera shaking this could show that someone is watching. There are also a very wide shot of the parking space, this could just be to show the area that the boy is in so that the audience can know the surroundings and just to show the space that the is in. Then there is also a wide shot of the boy however it then turns into a mid-shot to show the boy more then it turns into a close up so that the audience can really see the boy’s face and what he looks like. There is also a point of view when the boy is trying to run away from the two men, this is to show the audience where the character is going. Editing: The background music is very well kept with the action of the character so that the audience can keep up with both the music and plot of the story. There is also a consistent continuity in the plot and there is always something for the audience to look at for entertainment. The shot duration are not very long, this tells the audience that every action is happening at a fast pace and time is going faster by each shot.
