Breaking Bad
Scene opens with medium to close up shots of the dessert which indicates that the setting will open up here. It then cuts to a slow motion scene of trousers flying from the air and then getting run over by a very fast moving caravan. We then see the inside of the van with a half naked man with a gas mask driving aggressively. We see lots of chemicals and liquid drowning the van along with dead bodies and a unconscious male in the passenger seat. Straight away this questions the audience. Why is he wearing a gas mask? Why are they in the desert? Is that man dead? Who are they/he getting away from? Once he crashes the vehicle due to his bad driving he leaves the van and throws his gas mask away in anger. He then goes back into the van to reach for a number of props: A Gun from a dead body, his wallet and a camera. He then starts to record himself apologising to his family. this tells us that this character has previously been in a battle with some foes and tried to get away. The use of sound in this scene opens with a very fast paced action score. As the van reaches its end it turns silent, but gradually we hear the sounds of police sirens building up which brings in a lot of tension and may give a few answers from what he is trying to get away from.
Top Boy
The opening starts with a urban electro song playing with close up, landscape shots of the low end flats and streets of London. it then transitions into a over the shoulder shot of a young boy dressed in school uniform, eating his breakfast in his council flat watching over two drug dealers. As the music starts kicking in we get to a more faster pace of a market with a group of black youths selling drugs. The editing gets faster and switches between the market and the first scene. We then see a car approaching the first two dealers and one of them makes a phone call to the group at the market for back up. The first two dealers get robbed by an enemy gang with a gun, they couldn't do anything. As the market group arrive they are all stressed. the music then comes to a close and ends with the school boy walking away from watching the window. Overall, this opening scene brings a lot of suspense and asks the audience a lot of questions. Why are they're very young people selling drugs? Who are these people? Why did they get robbed? Why is the boy just watching like its all calm?
The opening scene starts with the intro of the show, the intro is an animation of all the characters dancing and mucking about to rock music. it then cuts to a fast pace shot of Will walking very fast into his new school. Then a voice over of him plays with him talking about his new school. It then goes into a montage with everything he says, gives up previews and hints about who were going to meet and what type of comedy we are going to expect. In the beginning scene of will walking in we can see that he is the only person wearing a suit with a briefcase compared to everyone else wearing sweatshirts and duffle bags, this tells us that he may have been from a private school and is from a more higher class. The music consists a fast pace comedy score. Straight away we can see that this show will be based on this group of friends and how they are in awkward situations and try their best to fit in. Hence ehy its called inbetweeners.
The opening of this episode starts with a very brightly coloured dressed man messing up a computer. With lots of wide angles and high key lighting we then see another brightly coloured man walk in and notice what the other man is doing is un usual. They then exchange dialogue and the man playing with the computer tells the worker he has a warrant to do so, the worker tries to call the police but the man slits his throat open. This opening brings a lot of questions to the audience like why did he have to kill him and who was he? This show embraces its comic book roots offering genre nods for those who watch the show deeply enough to see the signs. The shows cinematography is almost movie like but with a comical twist with the very soft lighting and highly colourful colour corrections. They also use small depth of field a lot to give it that movie look.

My Murder:
The opening of this BBC urban documentary starts with a fade in of a young teen black boy dying in an estate garden. We then hear a phone call of a witness on the phone to the police saying "his been stabbed"... "he's a young black boy about 14/15" We then see an over the shoulder shot of the witness looking out the window and then a young teen watching the boy die. Sad slow music then plays as it cuts to a real life hot seat of the boys mother saying "he trusted her" this opening straight away tells us that there has been a murder take place and it involves the boy being betrayed by the teen girl. This opening is very effective as we see very strong acting and a series of angles of the same scene. We see how this young boy is dying and it brings a lot of questions into the viewers minds. The overall look of this documentary is quite under saturated to give it that cold, dull grimy effect.
