All we can hear is his echoing footsteps and then a creepy sound echoing effect. Then we have a mid angle shot of the character walking through the building and the camera moves slowly forward as if we are following the man towards his unknown goal. This shot again adds suspense as it is like its counting down, or in this case up, to something important that will be on a particular floor in the building. We then see a close up of the floor number going up. We cannot hear the music at this point and this could, along with the close shpt of the man, create the effect of making the audience seem like they are in the lift as well. Then this is followed by a close up of the man in the lift, but this time from a high angle. Then yet another low angled shot, as the man is seen going up the building in an elevator and slowly ascending violin music adds suspense and also add to the fact that the elevator is going up the building. The audience at this early point in the scene are already wondering who this character is, and what role he will play in the film. The next shot is again from a low angle, showing a man getting out of the car. The location is revealed via text appearing in the corner that tells us that the scene takes place in Prague, Cheque Republic, however we are not told when this scene is taking place. The wind can be heared blowing through the street and the setting is quite eerie. The scene begins with an unusual low angled establishing shot of a building and a car pulls up next to it.

The scene is shot in black and white which immediately leads us to believe that it could be a flashback. It also incorporates flashbacks to break up the action in a similar way to those which i have planned to use in my film. I have chosen to analyse this as it is a great example of the kind of film that I am trying to make the opening scene for. This is the opening scene from James Bond film 'Casino Royale'.
