First shot: The main actors name is dead centre of the frame, in white writing making it stand out more compared to the dark and gloomy background, all the shots inside the factory have a blue tinge which could be to show sadness and depression and blue is the colour that represents this most. There is also only one person in this shot; however he is off centre which is implying he and all other people are unimportant in this title sequence. There is a red light in the top centre of the image, this could be representing danger however it is not obvious when you first look at the show which could imply hidden danger and therefore a twist somewhere in the film.
Second Shot: There isn't too much to analyse in this shot, we still don’t know we are the eyes of the bullet, however we can see the shot is very dark with could be telling us it’s a dark story.
Third shot: Now we see a low angle shot looking up at the bullet ahead of us, making it seem larger than it is and more powerful that before. There is also more colour in this shot than the last and a lot more light that glistens off of the bullets drawing your eye to them.
Fourth shot: Again in this shot there is an actor’s name in whit to make it stand out more, however this time the shot is lighter still. There are two people in this shot the one closest you can’t see his head and the other far away and out of focus, again telling us people aren't the main focus of the scene.
Fifth shot: In this shot we finally realise we aren't just following a conveyer belt, but we are actually the bullet, which builds tension as, as well all know bullets don't exactly live happy lives. Most of the frame is obscured by the man’s fingers showing us only his expression, which looks distant and unemotional, hinting at possible later characters in the film. There is also chiaroscuro lighting on his face showing sides of evil and good/dark and light.

Sixth shot: Here we are looking down on the rest of the belt, and the people who are dimly lit to once more reassure us they aren't the main focus. There is still the muted blue lighting to show the sadness of the film and the depression of a bullets life.
Seventh shot: This shot we see a soldier’s face which is yet again blank and emotionless, we see the weather behind him is dreary and gloomy, adding to the atmosphere if the scene, the boat behind him tells us the bullet is about to be travelled, and the size and colour of the boat tells us the amount of authority and significance the characters and journey has.
Eighth shot: In this shot we see the weather and background has changed to be much sunnier and the boats have also changed to look a lot less like the owners have influence or control. We can also tell there has been a journey as the ethnicity and attire of the people in the shot has changed they therefore also look less like they have less authority and power. We can see they are armed unlike the other men in the previous shot showing there is more danger here.
Ninth shot: This shot has far more impact than any of the others, for the first time in the sequence the human is the main focus and instead of being emotionless and cold, we can see pain and fear in their face, giving the shot far more impact than any of the others, the person is also a child which pull yet more heart strings, and adding to the innocents of them. We can also see that the bullet is in the centre of the image and instead of being right on top of it we are further back, to be able to show us the shot but also to show the speed and supremacy of the bullet.
