28 Days Later Opening Scene

This film is rated as an 18 due to strong language and very strong violence. In the opening scene we are shown a group of people breaking into a laboratory, their aim is to let the captured monkeys free so they are against whatever the people in the laboratory are doing. A scientist walks in and warns them that the animals are safe being trapped in the boxes and that they are very dangerous. A woman ends up taking charge and sets one free, the monkey then attacks the woman. The lighting is very dark because the group broke in so the laboratory was closed off, then as soon as the woman gets attacked the lights go bright red and flash, which clearly represents danger and fear. The sound at the start is very quiet, as soon as the group is caught the action starts and the monkeys start getting loud and start making you feel tense and uncomfortable. The scene then goes blank and changes to a man in a hospital bed completely naked. The man takes off the tubes attached to him so quickly that the machine ends up dropping on him creating a very loud bang. He walks around the hospital looking very lost and confused, the hospital is left as a mess and looks very deserted, next the man takes a fizzy drink in a can from the floor and drinks it so quickly that it spills down him, he then cleans up the other cans that are left on the floor and acts normally as if nothing has changed. We don't get to see much of what is around the main character because it is constantly focused on him therefore we do not get to see much of the backgrounds so we do not see any clues.
