Opening Scene - Collateral

• Hollywood - Big Ident (Paramount)
• sound bridge between Dreamworks ident to setting, sets the scene and tells audience we are in a busy setting - sounds of planes, talking, footsteps etc.
• heightened diegetic sounds, emphasises Tom Cruise's footsteps to show importance of the character
• normal sound of airport is heightened and used in time to the music to create an atmosphere and rhythm for the audience
• Sound is of main importance - all shut out with car door shutting, creating a moment of calm for the audience and time to reflect on the new character (Jamie Foxx) 
• music and noise builds up again as passengers get in the car, shows the business of the character 
• visuals are very tight - busy and close up 
• obvious Hollywood film - colour is boosted and visuals look glossy
