I like the way this sequence is done. It opens the film really well. The way the sequence opens with Alex Rider doing a class presentation about his family life, and saying that his uncle has a really boring job. It then cuts to a shot of Ian Rider escaping on a motorbike and being chased after by the villains. This is a class opening type for a secret agent film because it opens with an action scene, before it gets onto its main titles. This is an example of a film opening i shall be looking at for inspiration as i film my opening sequence.
