I have chosen to analyse Saw the first one it  is a extremely successful film from the amount of things which are shown in the scene and the opening scene really works well on setting the mood and catching the audiences eye.

It stars the film with a the cast list appearing amoungst a black background and after 2 seconds of the cast list it appears with a dark scene with a light only catching a glimps of someone who seems to be underwater. The sounds are heavy and dark like they are trying to breath under water and are struggle to grab air this shows stress and frustration to the character which is being shown on the screen at the moment.

The title appears blue like its in water and it slowly fades away during this course of events the music continues slow and draining sounds creeping and suspicous. The pace of the recorded footage has slown down to emphaysis the thing which is moving around in the dark it allows the audience to try and figure out what they are looking at. . All of the sudden the man which was underneath the water comes gasping out the water in shock and confusion. You can  understand that he is clueless to whats happened to the fact he is breathing heavily and it shows us that he has been forced into something.

You suddenly see it disappear down a drain or something its vague and hard to tell this ies because they have made sure its hard to see to confuse you and make you question the things which have happened you can tell aswell as it lightens up which is edited to make it stand out as it is a key item which will be there for a purpose and the audience will have more of an  understand later on in the film.

He lifts himself out to what is to appear to be a bath which is unusual and weird as he is wearing his clothes this shows that someone else is involved to why he has ended up where he is. He ends up landing on the floor and gasping and moaning like he has been kept underneath there for a while this puts worry into the audience face. As he lifts himself up you hear a gingling sound and as  he understands that his being prevented moving about he follows the sound of the gingling and comes across that he is chained to the wall by his foot. He begins on panicking and we can identify that by him shouting frantically into the complete darkness 'help' it shows that he isnt caring about anything except escaping and having a idea of what situation he is in.

all of a sudden a low masculine voice replies to his frantic crying and you can tell from the pitch of the mans voice that he understand that they are stuck  but the man who came out the bath has a hight pitch voice as he is shown to be more childish and vunerable character to the fact he is showing his fear to the man and the audience.
