Camera
At the start there was a lot of over the shoulder shots. This was used to get us to feel as though we were in their shoes. It let us see what was happening from their point of view. There was a few establishing shots, this is effective because it shows us where the scene will be taking place and give us an idea of what might happen by the look of the place it is taking place at. Long shots were also a common camera shot used, this was effective because it shows us what was happening to more than one thing at a time. Although this is a good camera shot it could also disorientate the audience as they have to focus on more than one thing at a time so may get confusing.
Sound
During the start of the opening there was the use of non-diegetic sound. The music that was playing was very intense, we could infer from this that something bad might happen or they have some conflict with somebody, as we know it is an action film so it will include fighting. During the opening scene we also hear the sound of guns being fired. This is effective as it gives you the feeling of being there, we are able to hear the same as what the characters can hear making it more realistic.
Editing
Throughout the opening the editing is very fast. This makes the opening more exciting as we are constantly looking at something different and switching between certain scenes in the opening. It also creates a sense of panic because you feel as though your in the film with them and you want them to complete whatever they are doing quickly so they can get out this awful situation.
Representation
Men are represented as being violent. This is a typical stereotype as well. When we think of fighting an guns we immediately associate them with males, this is because males come across as being the more dominant gender. In films men are mainly always the hero's, this is also because they are muscly which makes them more reliable than in woman, in the sense that they will be able to fight all the battles etc.
