I decided to analyse my personal favourite movies opening scene; I Am Legend. The movie focuses on Dr. Robert Neville's (Will Smith) struggle with life when tasked with being the last man in New York City. His journey see's him have intense gunfights with mutated humans and sneaky plastic manikins.
The opening scene finds both main characters, Neville and his Canine companion, Sam, hunting for food. The pair are persuing Deer using a very unorthodox method; speeding in a bright red Mustang whilst a huge petruding M16 is aimed out the window, whilst Neville attempts to shoot deer. This scene is clever as it suggests that an urban city, famous for business, has turned into an open zoo due to the amount of Deer roaming freely. This swiftly points out to the audience the severity of the situation in question.
