- The music playing over the footage is classical and tinged with eerieness.
- The establishing shot is over a city and interestingly, the image in the first shot is also the same shot in the last frame before the film starts.
- The sequence is really fast paced and shows various images ans pieces of footage including: CCTV like footage, accidents and also various commitments of crime. As the footage shows numerous times, high state buildings such as the Pentagon, the audience gets the jist that there may well be political themes in the film.
- Various shots are used - from the CCTV sort of shots, to long city sweeps and ariel shots - all adding to the mtserious suggestions of the film.
