The opening sequence in Ocean's Eleven (2001, Soderbergh) places audiences with the main protagonist character Daniel Ocean (George Clooney). The major themes in the narrative give connotations of crime and deceit. The character is established via an introduction of his life i.e. he has been divorced and in jail, which makes the audience sympathize with the character. Tension is created in the starting by a sound bridge which comprises of prison cell doors closing and sounds of guards talking which creates enigma among the audiences. The social groups represented in the opening are prisoners which connotes that the film belongs to the thriller sub-genre of crime.
