 I will be doing an analysis on the hurtwood house media opening sequence called claudia

The scene starts off with two people that seem to be fighting each other. There is intense non diegetic sound playing in the backround. The music is very intense. Editing is used to make quick cuts between the man and the woman. The camera is not focused on them, its shaky showing how intense this fight scene is. The fight ends with the man on the floor defeated. It then does a close up on the womans face  showing her facial expression. Then shws a birds eye view of the man laying defeated while she takes a photo of his body. Elliptical editing is used when she starts walking to the bathroom. It starts off with her walking and then skips the journey and cuts to the bathroom in order to only focus on the important parts of the sequence. The camera then focuses on the blood on her hand. Another close up is used on te womans face while she is looking in the mirror.  She then walks out of the bathroom. When she is about to get to the toilet, the camer then focuses on the man dead on the floor and also a worms a view shot of the woman walking away, indicating her power. There is non diegetic music playing in the backround. The music is rather creepy indicating towards the overall atmosphere of the scene. The music starts to get more intense and creepy and starts to increase in volume as the scene progresses. mise en sine is used with her clothing.  She is wearing a suit which indicates that she is some sort of agent. Mise en sine is also used with her facial expression. It is very bland and normal which shows that this happens a lot and she is used to it. Maybe it is her job. She then looks back then does a small grin with a close up on her face.  The camera then focuses on  the cards that she is looking through. She then goes out side elliptical editing used to cut to her putting the card on the door. The card is zoomed in and focused on the card that says  My room needs some love. It then cuts to her walking away. The camera is used to follow her walking away. Then she leaves the room. It shows that she is probably the character called claudia. She is some sort of agent tasked with killing people.
