Inception

At the beginning of the film Dom Cobb is shown in a deep subconciousness taking secerests from an unsucpecting dreamer. Later in the film this is shown to be the real deal. He is commiting these robberies in both his dreams and real life. The music is instrumental loud with a strong flow between the instruments. This gives a sense of mystery to what is happening before it is revealed. The opening of the film also contains a flash forward of Dom Cobb on a beach having a converstaion with old Saito. This starts to confuse the audience watching but all will be revealed throughtout the film. Showing how he got there and why he is there. This keeps the audience watching and waiting. The music softens and becomes less noticeable. This keeps the audience on there edge of there seats for the next big shock and development of the film. The characters are all smartley dressed in dark colour blazers and suits.
