The opening scene of get carter is on a train, the music is quite creepy but has quite a relaxing beat to it. This scene adds tension as you know straight away that the man on the train is the main character but you do not know anything about him yet. You see him taking some kind of drug in his scene but you get know idea of what it is. throughout the scene every time the train goes through a tunnel you get a moving view from the front of the train then once the train goes through the tunnel it cuts straight to the face of Carter and he always has a different expression.
This use of cutting seems to add suspense as you wonder whether something is going to happen to carter or the train etc. This is use of false suspense though as as the music starts to slow down the scene switches to night time and the train gets to the end of the journey and everyone seems much more relaxed. just as it comes to the end of the scene you see that carter is reading some kind of Italian gangster book this kind of gives you an impression of his character as he is also dressed like he is quite important and well respected.
