In the beginning of this film they have used no music or sounds, this makes it seem like a serious movie but it also feels more realistic. The only thing we are able to wear are different news reports on subjects that would effect a large amount of people. Then one news report seems to stand out more than the others, which is the one this film is about. We know this news report is important because they use a bridge effect to link it to the first clip when we see some people in a shot looking at something. This creates an enigma as be don't know what they are looking at apart from the clue of the news report we can hear making the audience want to continue watching.
A very bold font is used before the first clip begins, it is white overlaying a black background, it is also all in capitals which can add to the seriousness and hint on the genre as this film is action.
Thinking back to the news report we can hear, the lady said "Diego was stabbed after refusing to sign an autograph", but before that she mentions he was the youngest man in the world creating more enigma's for the audience. The people have been filmed from a high angle making them seem weak and vulnerable, this indicates that they are in trouble or something bad will happen.
A man then pushes through the crowd to buy something at the till. The way he pushes himself through makes him seem a lot more important than the people around him, indicating that he is the main character. The clip then changes so we are able to see what the crowd was looking at; a TV explaining that Diego (the man that got stabbed) was the youngest man in the world. This explains why the crowd of people were made to look vulnerable, because the youngest person on the planet was 18 years old lets you know that something bad is happening or is going to happen to these people.
The camera then follows the man back out the shot at an eye level view, at this point we see him as the main character because of the way they have got the camera to focus mainly on this one person. When we begin to follow the man out the shop slow music is played over the top of the scene, making the audience feel guilt for the young man that died and in a way fearful to see what will happen next.
We then find ourselves out side of the shop without the man in view, the audience will now be able to see London in 2027, as we are told from the writing added to the bottom of the screen. London in this clip is seen as very uncared for and dull, which is the complete opposite to most parts of London now days as it is almost upper class looking, this makes you think of what could be going on in this movie that we weren't shown.
The camera turns around to get the main character back in shot as we are following his story. As the man stops the camera catches up with him but then keeps walking while keeping the man in shot. We are given another chance to see what the location is like; old busses and broken buildings are shown.
We suddenly hear and see a very loud explosion coming from the shop that the man was just in, this doesn't just make the man look extremely lucky and become a strong character but it also creates another enigma on what caused the explosion.
The camera seems to run over to the explosion, almost like you are the one holding the camera and you want to see what happened. Car alarms and screams are the only thing you can hear as a woman walks out of the smoke and dust carrying just her arm. You can also hear a high ringing which they use as a bridge effect to continue onto the main title of the move, this ringing leaves you feeling shock from what you have just seen but doesn't stop you from watching the rest of the film.
The same font and colours are used for the main title but the font size is a lot bigger because it is more important.
This is good way to begin the movie as it creates many enigma's and intrigues the audience to find out who the man is and why London is falling apart. The use of no music is also good as it is a unique way of creating a realistic effect and making you feel fear to carry on watching although this hasn't been categorised as a horror movie.
