Hot Fuzz

The opening shot of Hot Fuzz is a long shot. Nicholas Angel is seen purposefully striding into the lobby of a building whilst surrounded by a ethereal light which could be interpereted as a sign that he is an angel, backed up by his name, Nick Angel. The cutting is choppy, this is purposeful to keep the speed of the film up and to also show that Angel is generally a quick person with no time for much else but his job. A lot of the shots dissolve or fade into each other. This is usually accompanied by a non-diegetic loud sound or  flash meaning the action keeps pace. The mise-en-scene of the opening is based quite a lot around what we assume to be the police station he works. The composition of the scene features lots of straight lines that could be construed as bars, like that in a prison cell. The fact that at all times Angel is situated in front of them could mean he's not corrupt and that the law is always behind him in his work. During the opening  there's a close-up of his police ID. His facial expression is very stern and almost angry, you then see a close-up of this face again straight and his facial expression is exactly the same implying he's constantly stern or angry. His shoulder number is also a joke as its 777. This is playing on the number of the beast being 666 and therefore 777 must be the polar opposite and partnered with his name it paints the picture of the perfect police officer.
