Zodiac (Opening Sequence)

Zodiac (Opening Sequence)



The opening sequence to Zodiac is very effective, it immediately reveals the antagonist's personality. It opens with a young man and woman in the car kissing, when a car begins to circle them. They at first get nervous and worried, however the car appears to drive away. The car then returns and a man gets out. The dialogue suggests that they know him, however, he quickly shoots them both, repeatedly with a silenced pistol. The killer is never revealed. There is no music in this scene. This immediately sets the tone for the film, that it is dark, and mysterious.
