'Leave' opening scene analysis

'Leave' opening scene analysis:

The film starts with a white screen and the movie title 'Leave' slowly fades in on the bottom right corner. Non diegetic deep eery sounds play from the beginning and as the white begins to fade to an extreme close up of the characters eyes, a deep, slow drum rhythm begins to play and builds to create a short lived crescendo, as the music stops when the character suddenly opens his eyes. But two beeping sounds are heard, and then stop. This crescendo is used to build tension. It then cuts to a birds eye view shot of a male and female character in bed together. The female is lay on her side, asleep and the male is awake and begins to carefully sit up and get out of bed. It cuts to a long shot of the entire room and the bed with the male character out of bed. It cuts to a long shot of a different room- perhaps the living room where we see the male character walk down the stairs. The lighting is dark which suggests that it is night time.The beeping sound then continues but at a very slow pace.It cuts to a mid shot of the male character at the bottom of the stairs with a confused look on his face. It cuts to a high angle of an empty room with a red glare in the top left corner and shows the male character walk into the room towards the glare, it the pans round to reveal that the beep was nothing but an alarm and the character types in a code to stop the beeping. The beeping sound was used to create tension. When the character walks away a different male character runs into shot and is seen attacking the character. It was silent up until then so it takes the audience by surprise and shocks them- this is typical of the Thriller genre. It cuts to a low angles long shot of the man repeatedly hitting the other character and the only sound is of the hits and them both struggling. It cuts to a close up the man on the floor with blood on his face and the back to a long shot, the cut happens when he is hit again. The character hitting the man holds up a lamp which reveals the extent of the characters injuries and then the light from the light bulb is used to fade into the next scene.
