- The sound of bats connotes 'batman' begins, this is like a sign for audience to identify the movie.
- It begins with fast-paced non-diegetic music slowly fading in suggests the genre of this movie is action.
- The music also creates a sense of mystery which lead audience into foreshadowing the crime/violence that may happen later on. It slowly builds up the tension.
- The loud 'bang' when he drop creates a sense of shock; this builds tension and allows audience to engage more with the movie.
- At around 1.00 the change of mystery music match the way the boy thinks - worried and curious.
- The silence proves to audience that it was just a nightmare and release the tension built before.
- When he wakes up, the non-diegetic sound stops and there is only the sound of the conversation and off-screen diegetic from outside. This will change the audience's focus to the conversion instead of the visual.
- When the visual cuts to something else, the music slowly fades in again to build up curiosity of where the protagonist is and what he is doing.
- The language they used in the dialogue is simple English and they have done this because it will further makes it look like the protagonist is in a foreign country that don't speak English.
In this opening sequence, I have realised they stop the background music when there are conversations or actions (punching) going on. They will slowly fades in the music when there is no specific on-screen diegetic sound. This will make the audience focus on a certain thing more than other in certain situations.
