Opens with a blank screen showing the directors name, high pitched “screechy” music is playing as the opening scene is shown a establishing shot of a urban road scene is shown, this music fades out. The shot slowly zooms in to a car, with our lead character in. The car is playing a self-help tape.
The next couple of shots are of her journey to work(at a bank) with the same self-help tape playing . the next scene reviles that she is good and her job and is helping people this is shown by the dialog. After the couple thanked her and gone her gaze moves towards an empty desk the shot then zooms onto the badge at the side of the desk that reads “assistant manager”. Using the events of the self-help tape and the empty desk suggest the she wants to change her life.
This in my opinion is a bad opening 2 minutes as there are no scary moments to keep the audience interested which is vital for our opening 2 minutes as that is all we have to make an impression on the audience in the limited time we have.
