Panic room analysis of opening

1. For the majority of the opening sequence noone in particular is involved so noone is really being reperesented. Toward the end of the opening sequence however, a woman is heard having a conversation with a friend this conversation invloves a piece of property that sheintends on buying saying that it is perfect, so she could be represented as a person with very specific needs. This is neither positive nor negative at this stage
2. The titles for the opening of Panic room are large, white font placed at the side of buildings.These do not specifically fullfill the conventions of those in a thriller film.
3. Something that does fit the conventions of a thriller in Panic room is the music, which begins slowly and calmly but then prgresses by getting faster to build tension. The opening sequence of the film appears to set up the setting as all the shots consist of high rise buildings and side views of streets in new york, this also changes at the end of the opening sequence when the shot is changed to being amongst the crowd of people who are walking. These shots help the viewer understand that it is set in new york during a busy time.
4. Without the music, this films openign sequence could be that of any other film genre. As the titles all appear palinly in new york.
5.columbia, this is a world known company, well known for its big budget films. they can afford better effects and technology.
6. the panic rooms suggests to me that someone is going to be trapped, in a high stakes situation inside a panic room.
