The Bourne Identity Opening Scene Analysis

Camerawork
- throughout the scene the shots are mostly handheld style close up shots which shows the viewer the rocking motion of the boat and the grim detail of bournes wounds
- as the camera doesn't change except in position there is not much to talk about specifically other than the small moment when our knowledge of the location of Bourne is withheld from us using the camera work

Lighting
- natural but drastic because of lighting storm
- large flashes create large areas of shadow which add to the dark nature of the opening
- lighting strikes mark key moments in action and add to surprise

Sound
- soundtrack which builds tension throughout half the piece then cuts out to build suspense from reveal of Bournes attack
- diagetic sound mostly of action of screen
- lighting strikes mark key moments

Editing
- no real major edits used just continuity

Mise En Scene
- clearly at scene even before this is stated
- grimey nature of costume coveys the amount of dirt
- audience is geven just enough information to intrigue them but not enough to give the idenity of bourne away.
