Resident Evil 
Genre and Opening sequence
The opening scene is set in the middle of Tokyo, i feel it is set here because the crowded atmosphere adds to the moment, everyone is holding an umbrella. The scene is set  at night , around 7 o'clock or so and is raining extremely hard. The character highlighted in this scene is a young Asian girl wearing bright red heels and a dark blueish dress, her character is the only one not holding an umbrella, standing still,emotionless like a doll. I feel this was done in order to separate her character from the rest of the crowd,also the way she isn't phased by the rain shows that she is in someway different.The film is shown to be a horror/thriller , i notice this due to the tension caused by the slow motion at the start. As the opening progresses it suddenly speeds up to a scene where the girl and an average mans eyes meet, the young female then leaps on the man eating him in the process.showing the female to be a zombie type character.
