Lockout - Opening sequence anaylsis

This opening is mainly different to others we start with clos up long shots of the main character. The still shots means we focus on what he is saying and get to know Snow's funny personality. The punch sounds are exaggerated and break up the speech but also create a sort of rhythm as there's no music. Next we are introduced to another character as the shot cuts to a close up of his face, this shot shows the characters power over the other. Next we quickly see a wide shot of the interrogation room before the flash back starts. The flash back changes the tempo of the opening as dramatic, fast music starts and we see lots of short shots from different angles, the sound effects as well are loud and increase the tension in the fight. The camera moves around a lot making it seem frantic. Then the sound completely stops when the guy is shot, killing the pace, almost like it freezes.
