1) Will Smith is being represented in a lost, baron world which has had some sort of devistation in the country that they live in. It leaves the audience.
2) It is being represented at the start as there is no one there with car been burnt down and scaffolding everywhere. Grass and weed growing everywhere which means it has not been looked after. Just Will and his Dog.
3) This film opening seems natural as the setting looks like a normal rural town/city centre with lots if shops and a lot of cars parked in the road. A man and his dog just seems true and it like a single man living with his companion which is his dog.
4) A stereotype for a man and his dog are known to be very quiet people and go about their business with no one really realising which happens in this film open as there is no one around them to realise what they are doing and is very quiet.

6) It is in the interest of the main character which is Will Smith and the way he has to live by himself with a deserted town that is empty. The drive in his car at the start of the opening scene gives the viewer an idea of the setting and surroundings that he is living in and shows how baron and quiet it is. Driving his car really quick also shows there is no people there with him as well as he will be putting their safety in danger by speeding.
