This two minute opening helps to suggest a lot about the film. Straight away from the first two minutes you know what the plot will be. The non diegetic sound at the end of the voiceover helps to explain this. Furthermore the fast paced music and camera work during tis opening scene helps to suggest that it will be a fast paced film. There are 8 key characters who are all clearly introduced in the first two minutes, all of their names come up on the screen whilst on a still image of the characters face. This helps to clearly identify the main characters of the film. There are quite a few locations in the film; as each character is introduced the camera whips to a new location for each character. At the end of the scene there is allocation where all the characters are together in a line. There are a couple of the credits at the start which are just plain writing on a plain background. The credits at the start and the still image with dialogue over the top at the end are the only slow paced parts of the scene.
