This is the first shot of the film and also the establishing shot. This shot establishes the setting that the first scene is set in an American theme park. Connotations derived from theme park are usually fun, exciting and even a sense of community which is appealing to the target audience.

The setting also takes place at night and darkness is a connotation of the thriller genre
