Editing: The edits repetitively show flashbacks of childhood memories of the two brothers surrounded by smiling families. This helps portray the timeline of their long brotherhood considering the brothers looked younger than 5 years old in the flashbacks. As in the flashbacks it shows everyone smiling and playing nicely with each other, this shows how not only is their relationship built through being brothers but that it’s also built by being friends.
Sound: The music used by the director seems fitting for the location they’re in. The music has a fairly slow pace to it which brings reflection to the tone. It is definitely not uplifting which hints at something negative to continue from the opening of the movie.
Camera: Many establishing shots are used to help display the scenery in which the brothers are walking through. These striking shots present the magnificence of how far the brothers must be walking. When the flashbacks occur a much lower definition is used to show us the past and when cut back to the present it goes back to regular high definition again.
Mise en scene: The brothers walk through a remote countryside. The brothers walking together but not speaking to each other relates to this hostile environment. It is clear the temperature is fairly low as there is visible fog throughout where they are walking and they are both fairly well dressed. The past (flashbacks) contrast the presents unfriendliness.
Conclusion: The conclusion of this opening presents us with ideas that the brothers are heading somewhere with importance. The way one walks in front and how they do not make conversation explains how focused they seem to get to their destination.
