Opening Sequence Of Drive

                     The opening scene that I choose to analyses is from the movie called "Drive" (2011). In this opening scene of Drive we can divided into 2 parts the first part is sequence of 1 minute which  is as soon as the film start there is a voice talking while the screen is still black then you can see the driver (Ryan Gosling) talking on the phone in the dark hotel room turning his back to the camera. From these elements we can suggest that he doesn't want to be seen, he might also has secrets to hide. The dark lighting also signifies the danger and mysterious as if the driver is about to do something bad and he is a bad guy. 
                    
                      The second part of the opening sequence is the "Getaway" scene. Which I was able to find a video. In this second part of the opening scene we can see the driver in the car looking nervous but then calm in the same time. In term of sound, at the beginning while he is waiting for another guy to come out of the building there is a very fast pace non-diegetic clock ticking sound. This used to build up the tension and as soon as the other get in the car the non-diegetic clock ticking sound then stops. In term of camera, they used a lot of close-up shots to build up the tension and also to make the audience feel uncomfortable and want him get way as if they were there in that car with him. There are also a few use of low-angle shots these were use when he pulled over waiting for the police to go pass. The use of low-angle shots can represent the power that he has over the police in the scene or at that very moment. As the scene goes on the camera focused on the police in front of the driver's car, in this scene we can see the police car clearly while on the reel mirror we can see that the face of the driver has been blurred. This can represent the contrast between good and bad which in this case the driver is the bad guy and this can also signifies the higher status that the police has over the driver. In term of editing, we can see that the driver has the most screen time this can signifies that the driver is the main character in this story and this also makes the audience feel like they on his side.
