• The first two minutes of this film set the tone very well and give us an introduction to the world in which it is set.
• Before any images are shown on screen, reporters and news readers are heard describing world events such as the ‘siege of Seattle’.
• This
implies that the world is in a state of disaster or panic; it is the first
suggestion of a plot.
• The first shot we get is of a group of people watching a television and listening to the news report. A man walks into the crowd, forcing himself into the middle of the shot.

• Being the only character in the scene to move, we focus on him. It is implied he is the main character.
• After cutting back to the shot of the crowd, we follow the protagonist out of the building and onto the street.
• Because the camera follows the character, it solidifies that he is the main character.
• The shot of the street is an establishing shot. It gives us a chance to take in the environment and immerse ourselves in the dystopian world.
• The shot goes back to the protagonist. Once the camera is done panning around him, we see a large explosion go off in the café.
• The explosion is unexpected and surprising. It draws you in and makes you want to know what’s happening.
