This is a 9 grid view of the opening sequence to the film noir Kiss kiss bang bang. From analysing the opening sequence of the film i noticed that this film must be full of different crimes and many criminals. The first hint of crime is in the second block of the 9 grid square above. We see a figure jumping over a fence that looks to be barb wired. This gives the impression the figure is escaping from something as the figure has gone to the measures of leaping over a fence to get away from something.

Also we get the sense this film was based around the era of the nineties due to the style of the building we see in the bottom right square. the building has a very contemporary design and would not look old fashioned in todays real estate. This gives us a feeling that the film will be set in recent times and will feature some modern features
