       The opening starts off with the logos for the production companies, which all fade in and out to black. Then the movie starts off with a low angle shot which is pointed at a mans shoes, he then reaches down to grab a bag off the floor. The camera moves right to left with a pan. The next shot is an aerial shot stationed above the mans hands, the shot is showing the bag that the man grabbed from before now emptying its contents onto a table which is already cluttered with junk. He finds what he needs from the bags contents, which are a knife and a metal looking tube, and then the next shot comes. It is a still shot of him grabbing a pair of gloves, by now the viewer cam assume that the parts of the man being shown is the killer in the movie, he is making the razor gloves. The next couple of shots are still shots, all angles towards his hands since now, in different shots, he is making the murder weapon, the razor gloves. The last shot seems to be a hand held, since the camera seems to be shaking a bit. The last shot we see before the title an aerial shot above his hands once again, but now he is wearing the gloves and opening and closing his hand, testing out his murder weapon.
