The editing techniques of this film allow us to see what the film is about, we see some text that tells us the film is was set 3200 years ago in Greece, so this tells us the film is set in the time before christ (B.C). It also makes us aware that a war is going to take place between the armies of Greece and Thessaly. Secondly the camera shows us an establishing shot, this shot allwos us to see the hundreds of soldiers that will fight in this war. The sounds also helps to make the auidence aware of just how many men are going to fight in the war because the loud marching and chanting we hear before battle. The mise-en-scene in this opening allows us to see the fight that takes place between the best greek fighter (Achilles) and the best fighter from Thessaly (Boagrious), we see Achilles kill Boagrious and since this film is about war this surely will not be the only death we see.
