This is opening is made up of several long shots which focus on one character as she makes her way across the airport. We start by seeing a side profile and the opening credits appearing, we focus on these because the shot is very still and we only know its moving because the background wall changes. This shot is medium close up so we don't see any of the setting around giving us little information. Next shot is a close up of luggage deliberately moving the other way to the previous shot. The next few shots are shorter than the first and give us more detail about the setting telling us she's in an airport. Next we go back to long shots but at a low angle on the side and then front really focusing us on the character so we know she is important, this also shows us a lot more of the setting but just what you typically expect of a airport. Then back to a similar shot to the first but a close up reducing information of the setting again. As the character starts running the speed picks up but we still see a long side profile shot. Personally I find this a lot less interesting than an opening with many different camera angles but the lack of information and plot can stimulate interest and curiosity into what's going to happen.
