Collateral - Opening Scene
- Sound Bridge before the scene has even started - we know that they are in an airport and this sets up the scene.
- Close up of Tom Cruise straight away - establishes the scene and seems like an everyday occurrence.
- Mise en Scene - glasses (hiding something) and suit (looks slick) - Bad guy.
- Intertextuality - we know whats happening with the case swap.
- Montage of taxi, newspapers etc - establish scene and show everyday life.
- Music is powerful with a strong beat - creates suspense and tension.
- extreme close up of main character - establish his character.
- Main character is characterised without us even hearing him - down to camera techniques, editing etc from Michael mann.
- Cab door closes and music suddenly stops (becomes very quiet) - his haven (backed up by photo of desert island).
- Change in soundtracks shows diversity and main characters first words are in spanish - multi cultural.
