This opening sequence is similar to mine and includes a chasseing scene. I like how the main character drops his possessions whilst he is running to show that he doesn’t care about anything apart from getting away. There are a range of shots, including: medium, long, close up and tracking shots of them running. Then there is a voice over explaining an ideal life and how that is not what he wants or has, we know this as its cuts to him in his house and it is very empty and dark and he is standing there smoking. Then he talks about his friends and goes to a shot of then in front of a goal and shows them playing football in a barbaric manor. Throughout the opening the frame freezes on a character and has their name in bold white font.

He has no reasons for his actions other than drug abuse which seems to be the cause of his crimes and problems.
