Opening sequence analysis- Cleaner.

Cleaner. 

The distribution productions for Cleaner are Millennium Films, Anonymous Content Production and Renny Harlin Film. The music starts as soon as the titles come up. It fades from black to a wide shot of a town and the titles seem to be resting against buildings, etc. We have a low slow tracking shot through a street and whilst the camera is still tracking a voiceover starts to talk about a particular character visiting her mother only to find that she has died through injury in her home. The title of the movie comes up during this voiceover. The music is very eerie and suspenseful at this point. He goes on to talk about death and funerals as the music becomes more short and sharp which turns into a song. He then goes on to talk about his job and we see what he does which is clean up the blood and gore after accidents. We then see him talking to some people, probably at a gathering of some sort, and it continues as a sound bridge which is the same as the music. So we know that the person who is doing the voiceover is the character we see in the scene where he’s talking to the people.
