Scene 1- The bank robbery - 4 minutes
This scene starts with an establishing shot, slowly zooming in to the big building the robbers are in. There is a lot of fast exciting music like something interesting is about to happen. All of the robbers are masked so the viewers can't tell straight away what's happening. There is a panning shot of them as they run into the bank. Also quite a lot of close ups of the masked men. Ending with a bus crashing through the bank.
