Research - Opening of the Blade Runner (1982)

       As the first couple of minutes in the movie go by, you immediately understand the setting and how it's different to our lives with an establishing shot. Fire erupts from buildings as lightning strikes the Earth; establishing how chaotic or destructive this story will be put into. Even so, the humming electronics that are being played as well would give you a different sense. That it isn't all destruction and there's a level of management one will see of the place; or that the story will be played away from all that fire and lightning. As it progresses, it motions into a close up of someone's eye which could also be treated as a point of view shot as we see them looking out into an erupting flame coming from the city. And once the music begins to die down, we are brought into a large room with what could be considered a wide shot as a man is likely smoking. During this period as the music dies down, it is slowly replaced with what could be the diegetic beeping of a device in the room.
