Adulthood Opening Sequence

With the opening long shot of sam and the police officer, you get an idea of the situation sam has been in and the malice between sam and the police officer, the use of the dialogue by the officer "its been emotional" further signifies how hard and "emotional" the 6 year jail experience has been for Sam. With the Rule of thirds with Sam and the officer at each side of the screen, you get an idea of the bridge between officer's and inmates. This is a very good opening sequence for a youth culture film as police usually play a major part in them
