Jack Reacher
Straight away during the first and third scene the director has chosen to use restricted views of both the bullets and the lever. Hey has made them restricted by using close up shots to hide anything from the viewers eyes apart from what is in front of them. This creates an enigma straight away as the viewer wants to know... "Why are there bullets in that sorting machine?" and "who is pulling that lever and why?"
Enigma No.1
Enigma No.2
We then see a character driving in a van on a highway. His face is never shown whilst driving the vehicle by the use of Restricted viewing once again. After the character is revealed to us we see him with a close up shot, this is probably to make it so we remember his face . He starts to shoot at people from a high building. This is another Enigma but this time it is done without using a restricted view. The use of the Close up on the face will more than likely stay in our minds for when we next see the character, that is more than likely the intended purpose.
While the character is driving the vehicle and the opening credits are being shown there is very dramatic music which gets louder and louder and gradually calms down again, prompting for when the man is ready to do his dirty work.

Comment on the screen grab - this will have been achieved through post production editing techniques. It is both an ELS to show the setting, but also a LS to allow us to see which part of the body he is going to shoot.
