Inception – Opening:
The opening scene of Inception showcases an establishing shot of waves crashing into rocks and or a possible Cliffside. This shows that the first scene will include a sign of loneliness, being deserted, this instantly creates tension as to where and what is happening. Our first encounter with a character is seeing them half-drowned and washed-up on the nearby shore, until the camera cuts to children playing on the beach, maybe he isn’t deserted at all. He then passes out again, only to have another character poke at him with a weapon, this implies the area is not safe or for the public, giving our audience a bit more to guess at. Yet at the same time, building even more tension and suspense as to what will happen next. The colour follows a simple scheme of warm colours to appeal to the scenery of the beach. The camera still follows our main character, as he is dragged into some sort of mansion, with his items poached by the other character. The camera focuses on our main characters equipment as it is placed on the table, this could possibly foreshadow that they have great relevance to the story, but also cause questions to be asked by the audience, as to why is it so important?
