the opening scene starts off in the middle of a chase scene this gets the audience thinking what is going on? and what is happening? also because it jumps straight into an action scene it gives the viewer a sense of realism and this triggers a rush of adrenaline making the viewer feel excited which gets them enjoying the film even more, because the film has a lot of fast pace action the film appeals to male audiences however the female audiences would equally enjoy it.
the first shot fades in to the opening of the film and it is an extreme long shot the director used this shot so that straight away the viewer can see that they are on an alien planet the camera then zooms in and picks out a certain character which suggests to the audience that he is the main character, when the audience first see him he is running away from the local life on the planet suggesting to the audience that he has done something wrong. the camera shots stay mostly between medium and close up but show the occasional long shot to establish where the characters are in the scene there was a extreme close up shown in the opening of the film and this was of the warning shown on a computer screen this was shown because the director wanted the audience to know that the ship was going to crash.
the technology shown in the opening of the film is way more advanced than the local life on the planet suggesting that they are not from the same planet the local life have their faces painted and use spears as weapons where as the other species use advanced guns and teleportation devices this suggests to the audience that they are a very primitive species and still have much to learn. due to the facts that one species is advanced and the other is primitive suggests to the viewer that they are not from the same planet which then goes on to suggest that they are so advanced that they have learnt how to travel through space.
the opening of the film goes straight into a fast pace chase scene this makes the viewer think that the whole film is going to be a chase scene. the chase scene being the first thing the audience sees gets the audience straight away in to the film it means that they wont be board because the film is taking a long time to become exciting and adventurous.
