Opening sequence - The start has the camera flying over fields, these fields however are very dark and gloomy foreshadowing to its audience that the camera is going somewhere no one really goes to and is a bad place almost. Then the camera captures a good image and full image of what looks like a skull. This is effective because it tells and shows the audience who ever is going to be fully shown next is bad news and is not to be messed with because they are comparing a skull with them and skulls almost represent death. Further on it goes to one of the prisoners, dead-shot, in his cell and the angle filmed is really effective because of the low angle shot shows the evil character he is and also helps to build tension on his character towards the audience. After it flicks from this shot to another shot of the prison guard and then back to dead-shot this is effective because the audience now know where he is and how the guards are and act with/ towards the prisoners.
