I enjoyed the way which this film opened because of how it is rather similar to how i hope my final task will look like. It opens to a lot of grand, wide shots of a city which i assume to be Chicago. The reason it is similar is because of how the footage is layered on top of some omnibus, creepy music that actually made me rather uncomfortable. Mixed in with the footage are long, panning shots of a train. This draws a focus onto this train and associates the sense of danger brought with the eerie music to this train.We then join the main protagonist as he suddenly wakes up on the train and is very obviously confused, the reflects the mood of the audience as we are also confused with what is happening. This helps us relate the main character.
The main thing which i feel i took away from the opening of Source Code is how the music created this sense of nervousness in me, and i now hope to recreate this effect in my own piece to some extent.
