The Panic Room starts with a long shot of Manhattan, this first shot establishes the scene to the audience. With each cut the camera pans and tilts around the city showing how big it is, the shots then get slower in pace building tension until it finally cuts to our main characters. We can tell that they are the main characters because the camera tracks them always keeping them in the centre so the audience will focus on them. They are also given the most screen time which further proves that they are the main characters. The dimly lit city and the saturated filter portrays that something is wrong here. Accompanied with the long held notes and the increasing tempo adds a sense of anxiety to the film which immediately builds tension.
