The opening starts with the distribution company, 'Summit entertainment' appearing on screen. It then cuts to the first shot of a man selling things with a crowd around him. It then cuts to another title, 'the steve tisch company'. Throughout the sequence it cuts from the characters to a black screen with the titles on it in white writing, this combines both a title sequence and opening sequence together. The audience does not yet know what genre of film this is as it hasn't given many clues. However, the majority of the shots have been close ups, a clue to say it's a thriller. The title 'ska films' appears. As each title appears the audience can still hear the main character speaking, this is done to ensure the audience don't lose track of what's going on and to also keep them interested. Music begins to play in the background as another title comes on screen. The music is fast with a heavy rhythm, this is another clue as to what genre of film it is. The next shot is of them running from the police, the audience know from this that the things they're selling are stolen and know the film is a thriller. The music begins to become more dominant as they are running, emphasising the exciting and tense atmosphere, this is typical to a thriller. In the next shot they are running down a set of stairs, it slows down and a voice over begins to play, this is to give some background information about the character. The main title of the film then gradually appears on screen letter by letter.
