The film opens with a fairly unconventional narrative. We are introduced to the character jack and are given very little information as to what is happening this type of opening grabs our attention and instantly invests us in what is happening because we want to understand what we are seeing. As Jack begins to set up the backstory we learn that Jack has been suffering with insomnia for six months. He progresses through life in a sort of dream like state where he is neither awake nor asleep. His job provides him no joy and he doesn't have any other outlets to improve his life. He is extremely lonely, this causes him to shop excessively and undertake an extreme consumer lifestyle. When we see Jack at home for the first time he is flipping through a Swedish furniture catalog and ordering pieces over the phone. This scene sets up one of the major themes of the film: the emptiness of our consumer culture. Jack shops for items of furniture that he claims "define him as a person."

The Mise-en-scene of the scene starts in a thick woodland area. There is orchestral non-diegetic music. This music works well within the scene as it adds tension. Nearly straight away we see a woman running. It is quickly revealed that she is running on an assault course. Whilst this is happening, credits are being showed on the screen. The music does not change, and the woman carries on running through the course until a diegetic voice is heard. The woman stops, and a man comes into the shot. The man tells her, 'Crawford wants to see you in his office.' She thanks him and starts running again this time backwards. The next shot is one of running past a sign that reads, 'HURT, AGONY, PAIN, LOVE IT.' This showcases he emotions as she was running through the obstacle course. By now the music has slowed to a calmer tune. Whilst in the compound, she is still running, almost as if she is trying to make up for the training that she has missed because she has had to finish early. This shows how seriously she takes her job. All this times the credits are still rolling.

The Usual Suspects has a mysterious opening scene, it is used to interest the viewer into the mystery that is going on. The location is told as the movie moves to its opening scene the location is San Pedro in Spain. The opening scene starts off with a close up on some matchsticks as they are lit. The camera is slightly tilting. It proceeds to slowly entre a medium close up of a wounded character. A panning shot is used to show a barrel and its fuel, the fuel is spilling out everywhere, specifically near to the wounded character. The wounded character drops the match to light the fuel. As this is happening a series of cuts is being used to showcase a dead body. This lets the audience know that a crime has taken place. The fuel is put out by a character urinating on the fire from a second floor. As the second character comes down the stairs, different framing and lighting is used to hide the second characters identity. The 2 characters share dialogue through a shot reverse shot sequence. Within the dialogue the two characters give names to each other, this shows that they know each other. As they both exchange names, the name Keyser of the unknown character is an antagonist name which also supplements the idea of him shooting Keaton as an antagonist.
