The Da Vinci Code film opening analysis

The music at the begining of the film is very chiling and dramatic, and when the film title appears it gets louder and ends on a climax, which shows how epic and bold the film will be.The lighting is very dark coloured which associates the theme of terror and death, and makes it more exciting for the audience as they get drawn in to what's happening.
      There are several camera techniques which are used to great effect, such as at the begining when we see a man running in an art museum, and panning is used to show the paintings as he runs past them, which creates the effect of as though the paintings are watching the man. Also when he runs, a high  - angled camera is used to show how big and vast the museum is, and the audience also has the advantage of seeing who is chasing him.
       A jump cut is used to show two scenarios happening at once, so the audience has to wait and get anticipated as they want to find out what happens to the man who is being chased.
