Bourne Supremacy

Above you see the Bourne Supremacy Opening Sequence

The first thing you get from the opening sequence is the music, the music reveals the genre, you could see from this already that this is a Thriller/Action film just from the music. The music sounds mysterious as it rises when the first titles come up.this is normally typical in a opening sequence as it wants a soundtrack that will catch the audiences attention. as the clip continues  you here a high pitch scream I feel the director chose this in order to build a climax for the audience as the next camera shot shows a close up of a man following with a gun shot ending the climax. You can see that the director purposely uses shorts cuts in a sequence in order to bring questions to the audience as you see snippets of characters that you can only see for a very short amount of time. Also you can see that it could be a violent film as the short cuts while shown have a violent whistle in the background, this could show the intensity that the film it has. When your first introduced to the main character you see that there is a close up to his face with sweat. this shot is after the short cuts making the audience realise that its his visions he seeing.  Additionally the opening sequence does have some things that are different. As the takes are short it gives the audience a sort of  cliffhanger making them want to know the past of these characters and more of the plot.
