X-MEN: DAYS of FUTURE PAST - OPENING SCENE
The scene begins in a dark futuristic looking landscape, the sky is filled with dark clouds. The dark clouds combined with the futuristic looking landscape connote the idea that the story has started in a dystopian landscape. The word "M O S C O W" appears, telling the audience where the location is. Because Moscow doesn't look like this currently, it confirms that the scene is based in the future. The darkness of the clouds connotes that something bad is going to happen. Suddenly these dark coffin shaped objects glide over the landscape, because they are coffin shaped, it connotes the idea that people are going to die. The scene cuts to a dark room where suddenly the floor opens up. The light that shines in reveals that inside the coffin shaped are full of robots that are designed to kill mutants. Their eyes glow connoting that they are evil. Suddenly they are dropped out of the coffin shaped things. The scene then cuts to a long shot where you see them drop into darkness. The darkness they fall into connotes strongly that they are very dangerous. The scene cuts to a man carrying a large barrel, his costume consists of what looks like black armour and a sword. On his face a black line is painted over his eyes. This connotes that he has powers, his facial expression connotes that he is worried. He shouts "They are here!" to a woman. The fact that he is shouting connotes that he is scared. The woman suddenly throws something glowing and purple, it blows up into what looks like a purple black hole, they both jump into it, this connotes that she has the power to create portals.
