Opening sequence of a film



This is the opening sequence from Hot Fuzz a British action and comedy film. The first shot is a mid shot of what seems to be the main character in the film. The main character is played by Simon Pegg and in the first scene he is walking through an empty corridor. He then whips out his identity card, this states that he is a police officer and his name is Nicholas Angel as well as having the badge to state that he is a British police officer. After this, he walks through another corridor, this time its more busy, this connotes that its a busy police station perhaps in a city. As he is walking through the corridor, there is a dissolve fade, keeping with the same camera angle and then it pans out into him in a sports outfit with other police officers standing around him, he of course is in the middle of the horizontal line because he is the most important. This then zooms onto his face in a close up shot and then pans round to quick cuts of different montages. These montages include of running through fire, finishing a test, getting a police award, answering questions to elderly people, driving a car around a track, fencing, beating his opponent in karate, As this is happening it is cutting back to him walking through the busy corridor. On top of this, the narrator is talking about profile, like 'graduating from Canterbury University, with a double first in politics and sociology' and academically excelled theoretical course work and final year examination. His successes are spoken by the narrator through out the 1:26 minute opening scene.
