V for Vendetta opening analysis

The opening scene is very good, it starts with the sound of a TV anchorman who is describing the state of the world at the moment, but the audience quickly realises they shouldn't believe everything they hear as he starts becoming more extremist and very racist, this would shock a British audience as the appearance of such a man on TV would shock them and make them think about how much Britain has changed. The scene however is most effective in the way it shows contrast between the main two characters, as they both appear to watch the same show while getting ready to go outside, this would make it look like they might be meeting somewhere but the difference in clothes suggests one could be going to some kind of party while the other looks like he might be preparing for a fight. the camera is in a first person view of the main protagonist V putting on his mask and looking at a mirror this would add mystery to  man and make the audience wonder why he wears it and what is underneath, it also portrays him as guy Fawkes which would make the audience believe he is some kind of revolutionary, it would also remind a modern audience of the Occupy protest movement. As the TV anchor says the word Judgement there is a quick cut away to V putting swords on, this could be suggesting that the TV anchor has something he is going to be judged on it could also suggest however that V is Judgement for all people who have done something wrong.  They also use a panning shot to switch between rooms, this makes the transition very smooth and makes it look like the protagonsists are living opposite each other, and it adds juxtaposition to each other as one is a vigilante and the other is a women getting ready for a night out. V appears to be a very traditional man, as he wears classic leather boots and a black costume, it looks like he is from the 1600's this could be to make the audience feel like the government between the 1600's and the movies setting are both very totalitarian and they both require a Guy Fawkes kind of character to fix the situation. The TV in the background of both rooms suggests that they are likely to meet each or they have some kind of link between them, this is a theme throughout the scene and suggests they will be important to each other. I believe that this film is aimed at 20-40 year old men and women as the film, because they have a female protagonist and it is likely that the weapons that are shown and the clear cut bad guys being the government would attract a male audience. The use of weapons and tense music suggests that this movie is a action/thriller as the they are most associated with violence and tense scenes, which are both conventions in those genres
