As soon as the pilot’s voiceover comes to an end, hip-hop music starts with a forward-moving drone shot of a lake from a high angle while showing the names of the production companies and the film institution. The camera then starts a tilt movement showing the cityscape along with the appearance of the movie’s title in bold white color and contemporary font.

 

Intercutting an editing technique was used to switch to another camera movement and location which was a trucking movement showing big houses in a beautiful neighborhood full of greenery. The scene then cuts to a wide shot of a jogging track along with gigantic trees which indicates it's a park and from a far distance the female protagonist could be seen jogging toward the camera. When the protagonist reaches a close up it could be seen that she belongs to a black race which makes the narrative even more interesting as in media different race develops various representations and stereotypes for example, they are not respected in society and are always suspected of different crimes. In addition, a female protagonist builds audience engagement as some stereotyping of female representations exists in media such as; they are portrayed as weak or dependent but this movie has a female protagonist who belongs to a black race. 

 

To break the typical representation of black females in media the directors and producers chose to have this identity for their protagonist which makes the narrative intriguing. Following the pan movement, a close-up of the female could be seen as this specific shot helped to show the appearance of the cop car, making the scene interesting for the viewers. The music stops when the non-diegetic police sirens are heard and a police cam POV is shown where the female protagonist could be seen from their perspective which creates a sense of trouble for the general audience.

 

The next scene sequence was shown by long and mid shots to introduce the appearance of the police and to reveal the location or the setting to the viewers. This scene included binary opposition between the women and men or black race VS white race and the scene portrayed that the protagonist is stopped without any reason or just because of the insane levels of racism in America and conformed the issue of suspecting black race people for any crime such as; crime or theft. However, later on in the scene the female protagonist tries to resist but fails to do so and the cop holds her to the fence where a close-up is seen to show her angry reaction, expressions, and emotions of the protagonist.

 

A three-shot was later on used in the scene when the fellow cop said ‘She’s blue’ which signified that the female protagonist is part of the police department as well, just off duty. Three shot helped to show the exchange of dialogue between characters and the meaning behind it. This broke the representation of black race in media hence, making the audience like the female protagonist and making the cops the bad guys in the scene. Furthermore, natural lights were used throughout the scene to conform to the outdoor setting of the first few scenes.

 

The camera then cuts to a long dolly movement shot of the protagonist jogging inside a cemetery and intercuts to the shot where the female protagonist stops, dramatic sounds can also be heard to make the scene more engaging and dramatic. The grave of her mother was highlighted by using an over-the-shoulder shot and the dramatic music created a sense of sympathy for the female protagonist as the grave signified the emotional attachment the character had with her mother. 

 

After the transition, the scene showed the female protagonist wearing her police uniform in the locker room of their police department while talking to her fellow cop. An editing technique called shot reverse shot was used to put emphasis on their conversation. Her friend was a white cop, who seemed full of joy and passed positive vibes by saying ‘’ which signified that he is a great support system to the female protagonist and an energetic character in the narrative. Moreover, the mise en scene helped to identify the setting of the scene by putting lockers and using dull color grading to conform to the locker room setting.

 

The opening sequence ends with a tracking shot isolating the two characters while walking in a corridor and passing their fellow policemen and again upbeat hip-hop music starts while giving the last credits of the movie and convincing the audience to watch the rest of the movie.
