Your Genre 1

The opening sequence of the film inception begins with the main actor of the film Leonardo Di Caprio waking up on the shore of the sea. The time of day looks around 9 or 10am this is because there are kids playing around near the shore making sand castles, so it cant be to early in the morning. Once the beginning scene carry's on he opens his eyes but looks in a bad way because they half open, this could mean he is rather very tired or has been beaten up or is drugged up these are the main 3 things which could of happened. However seconds later after he closes his eyes again a policeman or a guard points his gun at him to see what is going on if he is dead or not. However it gives the audience a couple seconds of suspense because we don't find out who is pointing the gun at Leonardo because the gun comes into the shot first with an over the shoulder shot looking down on him. Then once the policeman is trying to wake him up he calls another guard which shows us a long shot of the other guard running into a building or down to help. Meanwhile this is the first indication the audience get that it is in an Asian country because of the language the guard spoke in and the uniform which he is wearing. It looks like the country South Korea because of the complexion on the man. Then the beginning scene takes a twist in which the guards find out what he is carrying and he is carrying a hand gun and what looks like a very small pointy ring which looks very much important because once the boss sees it he turns around and is then is wanting to know what it is. The audience get this vibe from an over the shoulder shot of him turning around. Then Leonardo comes into the room looking very scruffy wearing very cream baggy trousers and top which looks like he is living homeless. He then is given some very ugly looking food but he decides to eat it which suggests that he hasn't eaten for a long time. Then the boss says to him from a long shot reverse shot across a very long table "you tried to kill me" which suggests that the boss doesn't want to be to close to Leonardo because he wanted to kill him. Then the scene goes back in time when Leonardo is dressed very smartly in a black suit and black tie which suggests he was or is a wealthy person. This can confuse the audience because our first opinion on him might change because we are seeing a different side to him.
