Mission Impossible GP - Opening

Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol - Opening scene

• Wide shots of budapest - establishing the scene.
• The soundtrack (non-diegetic) is working well in conjunction (parallel) with the camera work as the orchestral music with the same beat running throughout succesfully creates apprehension as we are watching the wide shots of budapest - music getting quicker (climax).
• The sound-bridge at the start - we are put straight into the action and it creates this sense of suspense and tension. 
• We are instantly slammed into the action when the man runs out of the door - Music suddenly gets faster - audience on the edge of their seat (adhereing to the thriller genre).
• Man running across roof top, whilst being chased by two people - creates tension and trepidation.
• The part where the man is running is good for setting up enigmas -causes audience to wonder, "why is he being chased", "what has he done wrong" etc.
• Fast pace cuts - creates tension and keeps the audience on the edge of their seats.
• continuity editing - scene can be faster and cause more tension.
• Foley sounds (gun shots) - add danger and apprehension in the opening sequence of Mission Impossible.
• Tilt when he is jumping of the roof - again creates tension and adheres to the thriller/action genre of the film.
