In the beginning of the episode their is varies of suspense and tension also creating enigma code for the diverse audiences. This is shown as in the beginning the camera pans from the left to right showing the forest at night time also the smoke was showing which connotes possibly something bad is going to happen and this engages with the audience as they noticed the location and the time of the day it is shot in (night). From this there is a fast shot and the camera is a high-angle shot showing the car moving on the road then it goes lower depicting a tracking shot from the car. Moreover there is another camera inside the car to represent the protagonists while they're conversing, also the audience can get an insight and the point of views of the actors. Also this creates a mood for the audiences entitling them to be engaged in. After this it shows behind the car having a blockage and the audience are encouraged to look at the road and the forest again connoting something bad could happen this is done first with a medium-shot then as the car goes further away there consists of long-shot. After the camera is in the car again but this time there's an extreme-close up of the window screen allowing the audience to see what the characters are focusing them enabling them to be more so engaged.
The extreme-close up of the window screen if very effective as it creates enigma codes because it's building suspension depicting that something bad is going to happen. Then we see the reactions of the characters so they first are able to see the bad picture, the audience are then allowed to see what happen (a man standing there.) When the guy goes up to see if the man is alive there consists of shot/reverse shot's to build the tension. After there consists of a medium shot of the character the audience are entitled to know something before the actor does, and therefore the audience gaze on the facial expression and the body language, the character is going to pursues. When the dead body lands on the car the audience are able to identify the expression on the characters face this allows them to feel the same way as she is feeling yet once again. She knows the same murderer is going to come for her so she finds an escape quickly she does this by running and the camera ends this scene off by a long shot then the screen name commences showing 'vampire diaries.'
The audio begins with a rock song playing in the background this creates the certain mood for the audiences being parallel sounds and to give them a foreshadow on what the genre is about, both protagonists are sitting inside the car conversing they can still be heard of the music being playing representing the vitality of the conversation. The lighting used is low-key lighting there is no one seen except the two characters. Having this opening in the beginning allows the audience to get to know the character more commencing and starting the beginning of the series leaving them to assume, judge and to think about things. The actors are in casual clothes but it looks old and worn continuously. This goes in line with the mood with the actors as it makes them look more so serious having the darker colours. This opening was very effective as from suspense to foreshadow there's something for the audience to look forward to keeping them continuously engaged which is very effective.
