b) Genre/atmosphere

The director of the scene looks to create a suspenseful tone, making the viewer nervous/uneasy, as well as keeping them anticipated for what is about to come. The directer uses a series of quick cuts between Hunt and Davian to show the panic between the two. As the action intensifies (the count reaches 8) the music becomes louder and more pronounced, becoming ominous as to what is going to happen next.

The Movie (note, you only need to watch the first 4 minutes or so)

Mission Impossible 3

Mission Impossible 3 is the third movie of the "Mission Impossible" series. It centres around the protagonist Ethan Hunt (played by Tom Cruise) having to rescue on of his very own trainees from a sadistic weapons dealer. The opening scene begins as a black screen, then a sound of an electric volt is heard and the line of dialogue "we've put an explosive charge in your head". We then see a blonde man who insists to Hunt that he wants the "Rabbit's foot" and begins counting to ten, all whilst holding a gun to Hunt's wife's head. We then see the count reach "10" and a gunshot is heard, it cuts to Hunt screaming "Noooo" followed by a cut to the credits. This scene is the climax of the movie, even though it is at the start. The whole movie is a flashback and shows the events leading to Hunt and his wife in their dire predicament. This movie appeals to me to because of the action involved in it. This opening scene is ode to that, and draws the viewer in right form the outset.
