SUBMERGED
At the beginning, they us editing and sound to start off the story with a rather creepy atmosphere.
How they had done this is that they added in a slow fade from black to emphasise the deep darkness of the scene then had synchronised it with the non diegetic audio drone and ambient sound to really reinforce the effectiveness of creating this deep, huge underwater setting.
They also use editing to create clarity as to what part of the film the viewer is watching.
This is evident as they use basic italic font as text introducing their production company which is traditionally a the opening of common thriller films.
Editing is also used to show clarity within the scene itself with the use of a long take. The use of the long take of the submarine indicates to the audience that the story is set in there and is significant to the actual film and indicates that this isn't any random shot used to establish the setting.
Mise en scene is used to create the cold, atmospheric effect through out the opening sequence.
The submarine features two blue lights at the front which also softly lights the setting around it therefore indicating that that sequence is set underwater.
The use of the mid-close up side shot of the two pilots almost makes the viewer feel like they're in the actual submarine sitting next to them and getting to see what they are doing, in other words, its up close and personal.
CATHERINA
The use of cinematography is used to set pace in the sequence.
At the starting of the sequence, the high angled close up shot of the car wheel spinning as it moves at a fast speed on a highway.
