Location:
The opening sequence is set in a dark art gallery, with very little lighting.
Narrative
An old man being chased by a cloaked man with a gun, a fast walking chase. The old man shuts himself in an area of the art gallery, where the cloaked man is talking about a secret. The next shot is of the roof so you can only hear muffled noises of them talking, which makes the audience question what is going on. The camera then goes back to the two men, and then the old man is shot.
Sound:
The music being played during the chase, is low pitched, slow paced string instruments. The music stops when the two men start talking and starts again when the old man is shot. This is typical of a thriller because it illustrates the power the cloaked man has.
The death of the old man and the question of the 'secret' sets the 'quest' for the rest of the film and leaves the audience asking questions like; Why was he killed? What was his secret? Who is the cloaked man?
