25th hour opening scene

25TH HOUR ( SPIKE LEE ) 

As we watched the opening scene of the 25th hour in silence as the speakers at school did not function it made me concentrate more on just the visuals a bit more than if the sound was working . At the beginning  first noticed the reckless driving of what seemed to be a fairly expensive yellow  american muscle car, i think this has been done deliberately to gain the attention of the audience.

Then we see this low angle shot of a mysterious fellow who come out of his car ( i presumed it was his as he came out of the drivers side) and walk up to a dog that looked very badly injured, lying in a heap of waste. Then we see the first glimpse of this character as he looks down at the dog, the angle of the camera at this point was low down worms eyes view facing up at this figure, this could have been done to show that the dog is in an inferior position giving this character a sort of power over this poor, homeless dog.
