Opening Sequence Research - The Divide

It opens with 5 seconds of darkness which instantly poses an uncertainty and fades into an extreme close up of a female eye crying which shows the mood of the film in general. We then see the destruction she is looking at which suggests a supernatural theme which is a common feature of the thriller genre.

We are shown an excess of people running down a fleet of stairs which shows the danger is imminent but implies people will die in this film which gives a gory element to the film so that already we can see the depressive elements of this thriller.

The opening eventually reaches the neutral silence of a standard opening.
