Opening Scene

• The first shot is a panning shot rolling through the Sky/Clouds
• The opening scene for this film starts with some soothing piano playing whilst the credits show on screen whilst the scene is showing the clouds and the lighting from the sun.
• A sound-bridge is introduced when the sound of an aeroplane draws nearer as the camera zooms back out into a plane through the window.
• The first shot on the plane carries on zooming out from outside the window until inside the dark plane you can see a figure who starts to emerge through the light from the sun moving the shadows away and reveals the character played by Liam Neeson.
• The opening scene shows a sense of mystery as the music is quite quiet and there is no real set genre to the film which is shown from the opening scene as it really only shows a couple getting off a plane and arriving in Berlin.
• The editing involves quite long shots for the beginning of the opening 1 minute and 20 seconds 
• The clip below is longer than the opening i have analysed which is up to the main title which is at 2:50.
