Opening Analysed

The beginning is natural and

on a beach. then afterwards it

enters a building and become

dull. the room is lit with

celling lights and the room

looks important.

In the beginning when he’s on the beach

it has loud crashing of waves which

creates a natural and peaceful start.

then you hear a girl scream showing

that something is happening or someone

is coming. then the sound stops and you

only hear quiet speaking which creates

suspense.

High angle shot: show body lying on the

floor. shows security guard looking down.

close up: shows man lying on the beach.

shows he’s face on the floor. expresses

emotions. the close up tells you something

bad has happened.

long shot: shows the whole body of two

children, one is running and the other is

playing on the beach.

two shot: shows people talking in the same

scene.

Shows whole scene first then jumps

to close up of his face. it is all in a

regular pace. then you see a point of

view shot in a slowed-down speed

showing that he doesn’t know

where he is. there is a reaction shot

showing the actor reacting to

waking up in a unfamiliar place.
