In the opening sequence, we see a lady alone in the house and this we expect to see her as a victim and she could be in danger. In this opening sequence, the lighting is yellow orange colour which represents that she is danger. We have a wide a shot of her talking on a phone and quick cuts between her and the popcorn heating up to reinforce that she is danger. We also have see a mid close up shot of her to show her facial expression which juxtaposes later with her feeling really scared about this stranger who turns out to be a killer.We hear their conversation of them talking about horror movies which suggest that this film's genre is under thriller/horror film. The tension is gradually developing for the audience as we begin to see an establishing shot of her boyfriend being killed outside of her house . Her being in the house and watcing her boyfriend died signify that she is on a weaker side where she does not have the availabilty to help him. This also suggests that she herself is trap inside her own house. The mystery killer is in control and that she is the victim.
The Shutter Island
In this opening sequence, We see two people dressed up in a big trench coat which were brings out the stereotypical image of detective which immediately tells us that there might be a murder or something have happened and that they need to solve it. We then see a point of view shot of them looking over at the people the other side who are waiting for them. They are dressed in police uniforms with guns which suggests that the place is a dangerous place. This is highlighted again when we see a close up shot of patiens in chains to show that that particular place is dangerous. From this we know that this film involves horror.
