The opening clip begins with pelonstic sound of a clock ticking to reprsent the time in this game. The clock sound speeds up as the time goes to build up tension and create a sense of loss of time. A zoom out tracking shot is used to show the location of the scene. The lighting is dark and warm which shows a scary yet comftoable feeling towards the room. A still mid shot is then used to show the room as-well as the pleonastic sound of clock ticking still happening.

Our first actor gets introduced and falls from the ceiling through a establishing shot and then a tracking shot when he falls on the floor. An establishing zoom in shot then occurs when there is a important object he has his eye on. An elevated shot then happens once the actor touches the object. The walls are coming closer and closer and we can tell how frightened and worried he is due to the extreme close up shot of his face to show his expressions. Objects are falling from the ceiling using tracking shot to show the motion and how terrifying this. A below tracking shot is taken to show more of his emotions on his face, there is slow motion editing shots of things falling from the room to show fear and danger. 

There are close up shots of what he is reading so the audience can understand and follow along with the story line. A tracking shot following him around in a 360 action. Pleonastic sound is increased over the top of the soundtrack for his heavy breathing to convey his fear and emotions during this scene. Small and short editing shots are taken to show the tension rising throughout this scene, to show the time is getting shorter and shorter. As the scene ends a fade to black screen is continued to end the scene with the last clip shot being a photo of his face screaming as he gets crushed.

 Furthermore, i believe that this scene shows the atmosphere and the amount of thrill that is going to be shown in the film. Overall the film shows the content and sneak peak of what is going to happen in the rest of the film which shows the tension and a lead of mystery to be left for the rest of the film, audiences want to watch more due to the no context behind the first clip. The tension rising first clip and soundtrack show imagination and suspense.
