Opening of Panic Room

The opening of panic room
In this scene we see no people, but we see a large selection of shots of a city, we get a view of the tall sky scrappers and the heavy traffic on the street, also at the end we get a view of of park with the city in the background. This opening is setting up the films location, which might be key to the plot of the film or an important factor. This also represents it as going to a target, because of the music behind the sequence we get the felling that the city will be in danger.

The film titles are bold, flying across the city skyline. What this represents are the characters, this suggests to the audience that the characters in the film - bold and exciting. This does fit the thriller genre because thriller films will usually have characters that are willing to risk there life in dangerous situations, or the opposite - willing to risk their life to bring about destruction. From the titles I feel this film will have these characters.

In the scene we get a lot of long shots of a city, often high angle shots pointing down at the people below. This means that what is going to happen in the film is bigger and will threaten the whole city. The shots are editing togther, not fast because the sudience has to read the titles of the film, this may suggest that the film will start of slower and build up towards the action, this is where they may include the city, introduce the characters of the film, who live in this city and then create a larger then life scenrio for them.

I think in the plot will evole around a terroist attack on the city, panic room and the title sequence suggest that the city is in danger and people have to save themsleves in a panic room.
