Jack Reacher

Opening Scene

• Suspenseful orchestral non-diegetic music creates tension for the start of the film whist the credits appear.
• The first shot we see is the shot of the Lever mechanism with the name of the main character which appears.
• The next shot is a panning shot following a white van which poses many questions as to what is in the white van? and who is driving the white van?
• Close ups of the bullets in the grain show the danger and hidden tension as to the film maybe involving shooting.
• Rolling shots following the white van again showing that this white van has some significance to the opening scene. 
• The music like most Thriller films in the opening scene gradually gets louder to show the tension and suspense that the producers want the audience to feel.
