| Opening shot |
The opening shot is an extreme long shot zooming out to reveal what is implied to be the main character, in the first shot of the film. This is then accompanied by ' In association with Studio Canal' which suggests it may not be as important as idents such as Universal pictures and Working Title. The language used ('In association with') also suggests that as it is not as important as the other two.

| Closing Shot |
The closing shot is a two shot close up, this is used to show the detail in this scene (the stabbing of the hand) and also the characters emotions
The opening scene contains a very skilled piece of editing a number of shots one after another are used and a flickering effect is given off to add suspense. Throughout the opening it is focused on the one character which we assume is the main character which we then come to realise that he is which is not a suprise as he is the main camera focus.
