wallander's opening consists of a slow establishing shot that pans gradually over some small hills to a lone taxi that is sitting in the middle of no where which leads the audience to first ask whats so important about this lone taxi. the fast paced editing cutting from shot to shot helps to highlight the fact that this is a murder that has been committed by two girls.
the striaght professional layout of the text show the fact that this is an adaptation of a book. the text could also be used to suggesst the police involevmeant in the opening sequence.
COSTUMES
the costumes worn by the actors help to clearly distinguish there roles in the opening sequence for example the main police officer is easily identified by the fact he is not wearing the normal uniform of standard officers. his use of what could be considered a luxary car help define him as both a powerful character and a important player for the rest of the film.
EDITING
the opening text is cleverly edited to give away some of the plot. some of the little things given away could be used to imply that they are important momeants within the film that may appear in eith the opening sequence or later in the film.
there are many use's of cuts particurley in the scenes of the interview which help to enuciate the emotion of the characters.
SPECIAL EFFECTS
There are little to no special effects in the movie with frame number 9 in the grid being one of the only example.
