The film starts with a black background and a with white title writing displaying the name of the film and the names of two well known actors "Tim Robinson" and "Morgan Freeman" which lets the audiance this is a big budget film and will probably make the audience have high expectations and increase the popularity of the film. As the names are showing there is non-diegetic sound in the back ground of slow old calm music, suggesting to the audience that the film may be set in the past. The dark background slowly fades and we can see the front of the house, the diegetic sound of crickets in the background and the large trees suggest to the audience that the loaction of this house in which this scene is set is in quite a isolated maybe a suburban area. The long shot of the house pans round giving the audience a good view of the location slowly zooms to a mid shot of the main characters sitting in his car. The man sitting in the dark car looks upset and gloomy this starts to create some enigmas, why is he sitting in his car on his own? what is he doing?
The next shot is an extreme close up of the main character hand reaching and pulling out an object wrapped in a white cloth. The non-diegetic sound becomes quieter and muffled this creates tension. As the man unwraps the cloth a gun is reveled this creates more enigmas in the audience, this also the first insight to what the film may be about. As we see the man drinks his vodka suggests that he is trying to get him self to do something stupid, something he may not be able to do in a sober state. This gets the audience thinking what he is going to do next. This also suggests that he is probably think of doing something with the gun which means that the film is likely to be about crime.
It then cuts to the same character in court. When a second character off screen asks about what happened between him and his wife the night she was murdered. The audience then release that he most likely killed his wife with the gun.
