Limitless

As you can see, above is the trailer for the film Limitless. Unfortunately I could not embed the actual opening of the film, however below are a few important screen shots i want to talk about.

 In this screen shot you have an angle shooting up to show the height of where he is standing.

The way the opening is edited is very effective to watch. You want to find out what will happen next. Even though the opening is fairly short, you find out a lot about the main character and his life style. For example, one of his lines is him explaining why he is standing on the edge contemplating killing him self and why there is people banging at his door.
