At the opening sequence, we can see that the characters are all wearing military uniform, and usually audiences can recognise that uniform is in WWI, which narrated the time and story background, also there are subtitles to illustrate the story. To show the difficult situation in the war, there is action match editing of the soldier drinks water from the tube. Props like guns and other weapons also show that the setting of the story.
Also, hand held camera is applied to built tension and to show the nervous situation when people are shooting at them. Also, the digestic sound of the shot is exaggerated, which throw into sharp relief the atmosphere as well.
We can see that the only man who survived from the shot is the lead character, because the lead character is always the luckiest. Also, he has the most footage and many shot composition are the evidence that he is the main character. For instance: In general, this is a relatively successful opening sequence of a war film. It's narrated the story background and established the relationship between the event and the character briefly. The technique is novelty. I quite like the scene that paper falling from the sky that help to narrate the event.
