‘Bourne Identity’ Opening

There is an extreme close-up used to show the fisherman cutting Bourne’s wetsuit to try and find more injuries that he may have sustained. Pervious to the shot, the fisherman had put the container on the side and started looking for other injuries. After the shot he discovers a scar which leads Bourne on to finding his identity because he doesn’t know. He finds a laser encoded message with a bank number on it; the story kicks off from there. The Major mise-en-scene details are the costume which Bourne’s wearing, the fisherman has cut it off of him and he is left naked. Also the laser encoded message is very significant because without it he would have never discovered his identity.
