Opening Sequence of Panic Room, Second Analysis - OS

At the start the camera pans giving us an establishing shot of New york. They do this to set the scene for the film and give us an idea of the location. It then cuts to another area of New York, this time showing the bottom half of a building. The whole opening sequence follows this trend as it is a montage of New York. The music playing is building up and this shows us that something may happen or that the film is full of suspense and mystery. The instruments playing are that of an orchestra, violins seem to be heard the most. The camera cuts to different parts of New York each time but it is not a still image as you can see the cars moving on the streets, therefore showing the possibility of us looking on from a cameras point of view. This would be relevant as the film is based about being in a panic room with hidden cameras in the house so anyone hiding can see what is happening.
