2. Narrative • We get to see the process of how a bullet is made and how its transportet to different consumers. • We have the view as we were on of the bullets trough out the whole scene • This gives the audience already the idea that the movie has something to do with war or fighting/ shooting • We also see that it gets transportet far away with a ship which means its international • Everything is dark blue and really sad which connotes this will be not a happy film and something bad probably happens • At the end the bullet shoots a young girl in the face which seems really scary and makes the audience thinks what will happen

3. Target audience • More Man than women probably the age around 40-70 this can be seen because we can only see man in the opening scene as well as the stereotype man are more interest in war /fighting etc. • Middle class / higher class as we see a small poor village • This movie is also probably for people who like also to learn about political situation who are in general interested in that subject

4. Genre • Genre is war this can be seen directly as it starts with inside of a factory of bullets for shooting • As well at the end we get to see a shotting in small village which connotes that the bullets were made to hurt other people • As well the whole opening scene is more dark blue and not really color full which shows more dark and bad than a happy comedy movie

5. Characters • We don’t really get introduced to some specific characters its more like we get know the whole situation and what is kinda happened or will happened in the movie this why get lots of mid shots of different workers • We get to see workers wo produce the bullets and the boss / or someone at a higher position of it who makes sure everything is alright • As well get to see who gets the bullets and uses them as well who transports them • This all gives the audience of the idea what the movie will be about and leaves it open to the audience to think what each character

6. Key moments • Camera movement • We get a close up of the inside of the gun as we are the bulett • This gives the audience a feeling of being right there in the shooting • It also makes the audience wonder why exactly its filmed from the inside what this might has to do with the whole movie • Sound • We get to hear non diegetic music which is complety the opposite of what is happening as it sounds more like happy music • As well were having a diegetic sound of the sound what is happening like we can hear someone picking up a bullet

7. Key moments • Editing • We have a matching cut as it follows the bullet trough the whole scence • This creates a a contuines scene without break in between

8. Conclusion • Do I think it’s a successful opening scene ? • Yes I think it’s a good opening scene because it gives the perfect amount of information needed to get what the movie is gonna be about probably • But what I think they could make better is maybe introducing some characters more so you would already know maybe which characters are gonna relevant in the movie and which not
