The opening shot of the film shows a wide shot of a house which suggests that the house is a main feature of the film and is going to be important throughout the film, giving an insight into the film. The shot of the house shows equilibrium because the house and the surrounding areas look normal for the character and this is what he is used to

From this shot it shows the a character in the film which suggests he is the main character in the film. The expression on the characters face suggests that he is in shock or dismay. The equilibrium of the film doesn’t look like it is going to be happy at the start because of the expression on the characters face that there is something not right with him. Barthes theory can be seen in this shot of the character because the look of shock or dismay could lead to something later on in the film.

Another character is presented in the opening sequence, but she is considered as a ‘villain’ character who is going to try and stop the main character during the film which is going to reach a climax at a certain point in the film. The facial expression of the female character shows that she knows what the main character is trying to doing. We knows that she knows because of the angle her head is tilted and the angle of the shot expresses the character's feelings with facial expressions.

From the main character's facial expression it suggest that he isn’t ill and is faking it, this could be because of his social group who are irresponsible and misbehave. from this screenshot the main character is trying to make the ‘villain’ character feel more strongly about the situation which shows their relationship isn’t friendly and caring but trying to make tension between the characters, like a brother and sister would do.

with the main character taking to the camera e.g the audience it assures that he is the main character and will talk to the audience if he has things to say but doesn’t want to say it to other character in the film. This shot also establishes that the main character is faking his illness and is telling the camera e.g the audience what he is going to do. The facial expression the main character is showing how surprised he is that he managed to get away with faking his illness to his parents.
