Breakfast at Tiffanys opening

 
A young New York socialite becomes interested in a young man who has moved into her apartment building.
Director: Blake Edwards
Main Actors: Audrey Hepburn, George Peppard, Patricia Neal.  
  
 In the opening to the movie, the scene is set in a urban background, with tall buildings, maybe somewhere like New York. A yellow taxi pulls up as the camera follows it when it gets closer. The main character gets out of the car in her iconic outfit, black dress, and pearls, she stands outside Tiffany's, which is the name of the movie . then its just a focus on the main character looking in shop windows and walking along the street, we can obviously tell the movie is going to be about her, then she runs across a quite road, where a man is sleeping in a car, he wakes up, obviously wanting to speak to her, he chases her to the door of a typical New York home.
 
The opening doesn't give much away the movie, it introduces the main character with very limited dialogue and non-diagetic music is non-existent. the scene is set and we know the movie is going to be focused on the lady.
