About The Opening Scene:

The scene starts off in a Arab country from the sounds of aman praying in arabic. Then the camera slowly fades straight into an army armoured vehicle which shows that this movie will somehow be about war with American and The Islams.  

The target audience for this film are older people clearly because it involves a lot of shooting images and violence which young people would not like or that their parent will not want them to watch. However, it is still quite emotional involving drama as well. Therefore, I find that woman will even tend to watch this movie. We can tell this by the opening scene because where they are is destroyed and the soldiers look like they know what they're doing, but they also know they could die as well. 

The genre is war, and you can easily tell this by the setting/location which is isolated. Then there is only men that are shown with their uniform and gear. No woman appear unless they are a wife or mother which shows it was in the older years when the woman had to stay home whilst the men went out and served the war. 

You can see many people in this scene, mostly men. The camera after a while stops in a roof of a home where the main character is.
