Dream Chaser Opening Sequence

The usual suspects analysis


The opening scene starts off with a close up on some matchsticks as they are lit, the camera is tilting up to a medium close up of a wounded character. A panning shot is used to show a barrel and its fuel, the fuel within it is flowing out straight next to the wounded character. The wounded character drops the match to light the fuel. As the fuel is lit a series of cuts are used to show the flow of the fire towards the direction of the fuel barrel. As the fire flows, throughout the cuts, in the background the camera shows a dead body laying there, this explains parts of the story of the movie, as it shows that the opening sequence is a crime scene.
