Mission Impossible- Opening Sequence

This film is an action/adventure/thriller type of film.

This shot immediately introduces the main character. Just from this small segment of his face we know who it is and we also get the impression that they is something there thats frustrated or interested by the look in his eyes. The glasses make him seem like he's in a smart business. I like the lighting in this shot because it is made so that it looks like he is working at a desk with a desk lamp on.

This shot in the opening sequence is showing in an intelligent way, that times ticking out for him to complete his mission. I really like the neon kind of lighting in this part.

This shot seems like he's just found or seen something. The low angle shot makes it seem like he's looking down on someone or something. He looks quite frustrated still, because of the frown on his forehead.

Here he is removing his glasses, this shows to the audience that he has done his research and he is going out on a mission. I like the lighting in this shot because you can see the shadows of his hands on his face and I think this looks really effective.

This shot shows us that he obviously works as a spy or something along those lines, from all the details given in this shot. I really like how you can still see the sparkler burning out, faded into the clip to remind the audience that he is running out of time.

In this shot we can see who his victim is and what he most probably was looking at on the computer at the beginning of the opening sequence.
