Mise-en-scene:-
The mise-en-scene is key to setting the mood in this opening and for the rest of the film. All places on camera are either dark or uncomfortable in some way this sets a scary and uncomfortable mood which lets the audience know its going to be a thriler. The only place which makes the character feel comfortable is M.F's apartment which is seen as a, sort of, safe house. It looks warm and bright and is focused around the bed which makes it feel cosy and comfortable and allows teh audience to relax as they know he is safe. Everything else like the rough streets in the rain and the house with the dead body in are made to feel very uncomfortable for the audience. The character of MF is shown when his 4 important items he takes woith him to work is his pen his glasses a wallet and his knife are all neatly lined up on the desk near his door.
