1. Opening Sequence Analysis

2. Editing
• Throughout the opening sequence of the film,
there's rapid change between each clip to
make the action or energetic and keep the
audience interested, for example, as Brian
change gear, the shots move between a
close-up of him driving, him changing gear
and finally to an over the shoulder shot of
him.
• This gives the scene motion and adds pace to
the overall film.

3. All 3 shots
occur within 5
seconds

4. Sound
• The opening sequence makes the cars and drivers
the main subject, meaning that the Diegetic
sounds (the engines and drivers talking) louder
than the non-diegetic (the music), which adds
pace and rhythm.
• Before the race starts the backing music is
actually coming form the cars sound systems in
the background, making the music diegetic
until is cuts out when brain/ ‘Bullet’ makes his
appearance.

6. Mise-en-scene
• In the opening sequence of the film we see young
adults, between 18 and 30 years old, possibly
groups D and C, who have plenty of time to
‘pimp out’ their cars.
• The scene id full of activity, from people talking to
racing and showing off.
• the male characters are seen tuning their cars and
showing off, while the female characters are
only seen talking amongst them selves, showing
that the nights activities, and possibly the film, is
aimed are males rather than females.

8. Camera Shots
• In the beginning of the opening Sequence
close-ups are used to identify the main
characters and a high angle wide shot is
used to pan around the scene to show the
scale of this gathering people, specifically
young adults (possibly suggests the target
audience).

10. • The difference between the authority and gender is too
represented through the different shot types.
• Character such as Brian are shown using high angled,
high key shots showing their importance.
• The male characters are also shown as more dominate as
the camera is more focused on them and the female
characters are in the background.
• An exception for this is how Suki is presented; to show
that she is confident and head strong, the director has
used high angles shots and she is also seen giving
instructions to the others as they prepare for the race.
