Wallander. (Firewall, MacCormick, 2008, UK)

The location is revealed through an extreme long shot which is the establishing shot. The set is faded in from darkness and the camera gradually pans across the sea with an over view shot and then tilts upwards to reveal the land. The land is rural, with a lot of greenery and fields suggesting that the area is very quite and mellow. In my opinion the landscape looks deserted.

The title of the film is presented on top of a yellow shape that morphs into different patterns. There is an ongoing theme of yellow and black, these two colours relate to danger signs which are often warning the public to keep away or be cautious. This reinforces the story line of the opening.

Three characters are introduced in the opening, however their face is not revealed at the start, we can only see the back of their heads. The girl on the right is wearing a leather jacket which suggests she dresses like a rock chick. Her hair is read and black, the fact that it has artificial colours in it suggests she likes to be different, it also makes her stand out compared to the other girl. The colour red relates to evil.
