I will be talking about the opening scene of Limitless, which features Bradley Cooper.
As soon as the story begins, we hear Bradley Cooper Narrating things, this is seen in some thriller films as they narrate what is happening in the current scene, the opening scene is usually an extract from later on in the film to which you get back to.
- You see someone brutally attacking a front door, this leaves the audience wondering why?
- You then hear heavy machinery, followed by more narrating, Bradley cooper mysteriously states "why is it that the moment the moment your lief exceeds your wildest dreams a knife appears at your back", this quote is then followed by two men left to dead on the floor, which is another convention of some thriller openings, random deaths to which you wonder how it happend. doing what thrillers do best, leaving you wondering.
- The camera tracks all the way to the top of the building, to where we see Bradley Cooper standing on the ledge ready to jump off, a high pitched noise follows which helps build more tension to whether or not he will jump, leaving the audience thinking, whats brought him to this point?
