The opening of the film shows Morgan Freemans character In an apartment. We have a mid shot of his character getting dressed in to a suit and we have a Point of View shot to show his possessions. The Mise-en-scene of these objects may show that he is a respectful man who follows the rules and obeys orders. He is dressed formally which may show that he has an important job. The lighting in the room is bright which could show his personality and what type of character he is.
When both Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt is in the dark room we get a Low shot of them coming out of the room which shows both characters to be powerful. the dialogue used in this part shows that not all characters in this film lacks empathy. The quote "Who gives a f**k he's dead" shows this and sets the tone for the rest of the film-That people do not show much compassion. The Mid shot used when Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt are talking on the street is used to show both characters talking. The sound on the street links to the Mise-en-scene as we hear sirens which can symbolise the crime scene and sets the genre. The sirens can indicate that the street is a disturbing and dangerous place as seen by the damage windows and shops seen in the pan shot of the characters walking by.
Before the main title sequence we see Morgan Freeman in the same hotel room but with only the lamp on may symbolise or show a darker side to his character. The shot in this part cuts to the clock and then back to Morgan Freeman may show that he has a lack of time. the light only shines on one half of the characters face which may symbolise that he has a darker side to him and even may have a disturbed mind.
The titling sequences consists of many cuts which could have been used to foreshadow the fast pace of the film but does not indicate anything else that may happen yet. For editing in this sequence the shots are fast and there is much use of jump cuts which is used to show the passing of time (Montage). The place where this takes place is dark and could symbolise again on the disturbed mind but for the character in this shot. There is also a close up shot of a females eyes being drawn over, as well as some close ups of the texts with the word "female" clearly visible. This could be perhaps a signal that females play a key part in this film. the Text used in the editing is styled to look hand written and the text fades in and out of the shot which could show mystery and for the audience to try and figure out what is happening. The music used is a disturbing sound with the music containing electrical surges which fits the plot of the mystery and the soundtrack links to the shots with them being quick and the transition being very suttle.
