Now You See Me (2013)
The opening scene for Now You See Me introduces the main characters in the film very clearly, after the film productions are shown, we cut to a scene which shows one of the main actors narrating, during this scene the music in the background creates mystery around The film.
The next shot shows Chicago, we know this from the text that appears at the bottom of the screen
The same music continues from the first scene and the same actor is present. he is now showing us a magic trick, and the camera angle used puts us in the film, and the actor is asking us directly. after the trick is performed the pace of the music builds up as the card is revealed. we are then shown a hooded figure and the music changes.
The music almost resets as we start the next trick. at this point the second of the main actors are introduced. after he performs his trick the hooded figure re appears and the same music plays.
We then cut to the third character who is also performing a trick on a boat... within 2 minutes of the film we already know that the main characters in the film are going to be magicians.
the third character is also performing a trick, however the tension on this character builds up very quickly, this is done using both music and camera shots.
