The opening of Fast and Furious 7 begins as it means to go on with an intense scene that creates a huge enigma. The story reveals that something has happened to the patient which means Jason Statham is not allowed to see him and also that he is angered that he is in that state. However this leaves the audience asking questions because they do not know the answers creating an enigma. Further questions are raised such as why are there dead bodies and why is Statham so calm despite destroying a hospital and killing people? These aspects of mise en scene (make up, setting and props) contribute massively.

The camerawork used in this sequence is very effective, with James Wan deciding to use a tracking shot throughout. This works well because it adds suspense and the element of surprise because the audience aren’t sure what to expect because it begins calmly but quickly gets intense.
