Immediately you can tell they have been through alot and they are going to cause a dilemma. The man on the phone (Phil) says he's lost Doug, by her reaction you can tell that is her husband to be. The audience will know want to know how 3 grown men lost another member of their group. After he said that the music kicks in and plays country music which sets the scene to be in the desert/Las Vegas. it sets it up to be a comedy as the title suggests its about them getting drunk and the audience will want to know what happened to them.

The film starts immediately in the thick of it, a plane with hostages on it. This creates an atmosphere and sets the scene to be an action filled film. The director uses shots such a over the shoulder to bring the audience in. the music plays a large part in the setting as it builds up suspense and intrigue the audience. the sinister voice of the Bane (the man in the mask) sets him up to be the bad guy, this will make the audience interested in the character and want to find out more about him.

Opening 2 minutes of Insidious 2 :



The film starts off where it ended in the the last film. the scene is immediately set by overwhelming high pitch music which tells us something bad has happened or is going to happen. This links in with the dark setting which gives off an eerie feel. The use of over the shoulder shots gives the perspective from the women's point of view and brings the audience closer to the action. Close ups of the man's facial expressions show the audience how he feels, which in the case is upset.
