Extraction

We are introduce to one character in this opening scene of extraction, who is camera focused throughout the small fights, this long screen time shows that he is going to be the main character. We can tell he is brave and skill-full as he runs through two enemies like nothing, he then gets shot and is resilient with little reaction and just sits there taking the pain. 

Based on the title of Extraction, the narrative will be based around a character, or multiple characters who are trying to leave, or escape a city that has a big push factor which makes them need to get away. Furthermore, it could be getting away from a group or a person with power over them, and their only option is to get away and find some place else where.

In the opening scene the established camera shot starts in a birds eye view, looking over a city which looks dull and desolate, boats crowd the water connoting to people trying to leave the city. The grey looking foggy city shows a dark tone, the buildings are dirty and all the windows are pitch black which shows that not many people live there, furthermore, all the cars are abandoned. The next scene into the action has a fast transition to a man wearing heavy army gear who seems to run through two enemies, then ends up getting shot. Sad non-diegetic parallel music starts to play in relation to the sad reality of the character who has just been shot. This opening scene captures the art of war, showing a decollate city with a battle taking place this is why the set genre is war. 

The setting is in the middle of a city, which then cuts onto a bridge, the guns used are of modern military level, showing that this is set in the 20th century in an abandoned city which is undergoing war. The director of this movie was Sam Hargrave, and it was created by the studio AGBO Thematic Entertainment and India Take One productions T.G.I.M films. 

From this opening scene I can tell straight away that the genre is that of war, this is due to the fast based military action scene which takes place on the bridge, therefor I can tell that this scene is successful and it captures the experience of war, as it has a dull tone with emotional music playing also. 

The audience would be engaged throughout this scene, as it introduces the setting straight away, then it shows a fast paced scene which ends up in the character, who is famously played by Chris Hemsworth who is a very known actor. Therefor the audience watching the scene of him getting shot at the end would make them want to watch more, to find out what and who he's fighting for, and especially if he makes it out alive and well.
