The film starts of with opening titles and then goes onto clips of fights around Boston, USA, from the past, Which have diegetic sound along with them, but there is also a non-diagetic voice over of a man telling the viewer information from the past! Then there is a man smoking, but you cant really see what he looks like other than a manly dark figure, the viewer is automatically led to believe the man in the shot is the man who does the voice over, which he is still talking in this clip. After the clip, non diegetic music begins to play and the voice over has finished. Then there is clip of a shop/cafe on a street, the camera then tracks into the building and then the man who was the dark silhouette walks in, he also speaks with the same voice from the voice over, but you cant really see him very well because of the dark light on him, so you can't see his features, which make it very mysterious. He then talks to the man over the counter and the women, he then buys ideas for the young boy to his right.
The cinematography has been used very well because the low lighting on the man leaves a black silhouette and leaves the audience curious to who he is! There is also a tracking shot into the building, which I think must of been a crane shot because it flows into the building from above. There is also a use of close up, like for example the money, which leaves you wondering what the moneys is for if the shop work is handing it over!
The mise en scene has been used very well by telling the audience the time setting and location of this opening. The costumes, settings and props tell us that it could be set in the time period of the 1960's in a city in America (Boston, USA).
There wasn't any noticeable effects used in this opening, this may be to create a realistic feel and to make it more raw!
