The genre of the film is Bollywood, thriller. We know this because in the first 2 minutes someone is assassinated. It starts with dramatic music building the tension.
you see a man taking pictures of pigeons, you then see a close up of a man with a gun, the close ups show the audience that these are the main characters as the beginning is about them. This grabs the audience and makes them want to carry on watching to see what's going to happen next. It makes the audience curious as to the relationship between the man with the camera and the man with the gun.
After the man shoots the person you see pictures being taken by the man with the camera, this links the two together. You start to wonder whether he is now in danger.
You later see a car go into a house, and down in a lift, this suggest it is underground. This makes the audience question where he is.
You see women on the television; this could be a newsreader reporting the event. There is then a man with a cane and this shows power, and suggests to the audience that he is of high authority and that he could be a dangerous character.
It is a good opening because it sets the scene for the genre of the film. It grabs the audience and makes them curious and makes them ask questions.
The tension is built up in the beginning through the music; it also draws the audience in as it goes straight into the action.
You can tell it is a low budget film by the bad quality.
the film is similar to ‘Shawshank Redemption’ as it makes you ask lots of questions about what's going on and the characters. It is different to ‘Spider Man’ because at the beginning it did more of an introduction to the characters so you know who everyone was and so the audience could relate to the characters better, the characters in this film’s opening are not clear and it is more mysterious, this makes it a good opening scene for a thriller.
