Straight cut to the kettle that was previously heard whistling. The noise continues, and there is a slow zoom out revealing a kitchen. A caption establishes the new setting of Los Angeles. The domestic setting can be juxtaposed with the isolated Mexican ruins, violent car crash and haunting music beforehand.

The title 'Constantine' fades from black in the centre of the screen. The background is not entirely plain; there appear to be scratches in the background which could connote violence (linked to scarring and injury) or the unpleasant piercing noise scratching a solid object makes. The typography is basic, bold, in capital letters and sans serif. This means it is not a struggle to read. To make it look more interesting, shadows are used to create a 3D effect. The use of white text against a black background is contrasting, matches in with the earlier captions and has the same connotations (good versus evil). The text fades to black at the end.

The sustained note is held while this is shown and fades into the sound of a kettle whistling, acting as a sound bridge for professional continuity.

Jump cut to a wide shot of the car disorientates the viewer. As the smoke clears, the man jumps away from the wreckage and runs past the camera, still holding on to the spear. The screen fades to black. The only non digetic sound is a quiet, single note. The footsteps of the man running echo the audience's heartbeat after the shock of the crash, and fade into the next shot.

Straight cut to an extreme close up of the man's arm among the wreck of the car. His skin burns to imprint a tattoo-like image on his skin in the shape of a cross, echoing the crucifixes earlier on. The camera pans to follow his arm, and when it reaches his hand the audience sees he is still clutching the spear. The hand jerks away from the camera.

More instruments are layered here, building up to the movement revealing the man is in fact still alive. This includes a woodwind instrument which enhances the chaos of the wind, and a single drum beat which is sudden and shocking. The music comes to a final crescendo.

Wide shot of the car, slowly zooming out as the dust clears to reveal the body of the man among the wreck. A sustained operatic note heightens the intensity of the scene, which is built as the volume increases and more instruments are layered.

Straight cut to a long shot of his friend, who is shocked, running towards the camera. Shot reaction shot with an extreme close up as he observes the severity of the wreck. His breathing is loud and panicked over the background noise of the car engine

A wide shot of the man standing at the empty road, and after a short period of stillness a car suddenly appears on screen and instantly crushes him. Straight cut to a high angle shot of the man on the wreckage of the car bonnet where he is presumed dead; the angle makes him look vulnerable. There are no non-digetic noises, just the sound of the car. This is effective in making the atmosphere more tense because it is realistic.

The camera cuts to the second man, who has continued obliviously. The first man strides towards the camera, which pans to follow him across the road. The only sounds are digetic, of his own footsteps and his friend's calls.

A high pitched screeching noise is heard as the camera rapidly zooms out to a high angle shot looking down at the man who suspiciously scans his surroundings. The sound is quickly "sucked"away.

# data[].attributes.body
Shot reaction shot as the man unveils the flag to reveal what the audience presume is the "Spear of Destiny" the captions referred to. The low angle shots again reinforce status and the audience understands he has this now he has the"fate of the world in his hands". The man looks shocked and unsure how to react. The music grows louder and reaches a climax as he lifts the spear to his chest.

Straight cut to a match on action shot as the man reaches down and pulls out a mysterious package wrapped in the Nazi flag. The flag has connotations of evil, and should not be in modern day Mexico. This idea of unknown occupation could link in with the idea of possession and the plot of the film. The music grows louder, building tension.

Straight cut to a low angle shot of the man from underground as he looks down curiously. Looking up at his character creates a sense of power and status, juxtaposed with what his character is really like; he has to look around for treasure to sell to make money. This could foreshadow that his "normal" life will change. The first non-digetic sound is heard; a long, sustained low note, with whispering noises that have a haunting effect. Straight cut to a point of view shot which shows his hand reaching in.

# data[].attributes.body
Straight cut to two men treasure hunting in the ruins. The camera slowly zooms in on them. Their clothes are basic and dirty, showing how desperate they are, creating a strong sense of character and status. There is a quick burst of music as a car races past and the quietness resumes. The man closest to the camera falls through the planks and snapping wood is heard.

Captions fade to black, straight cut to establishing shots. The caption of Mexico gives the setting context. The first shot is of a desolate building, with crucifixes on top (demonstrating religious importance which again infers the significance of faith in the film). The mountains in the background and the fact there are only digetic sounds of nature (the wind, a dog, birds) show how isolated the place is. This is reinforced by cutting to a wide shot of the interior, which is bare aside from piles of rubble.

A caption fades in '"He who possesses the Spear of Destiny holds the fate of the world in his hands"'. This gives the events of the film context and introduces the viewer to the plot. The element of myth also establishes the supernatural sub-genre.

The second caption fades in 'The Spear of Destiny has been missing since the end of World War II', giving further context. The typography is the same; a simple white, rounded, sans serif font against a black background. The black and white not only contrast (making it legible) but could symbolise good versus evil, one of the themes of the film.

Whilst the captions roll, the wind continues to whistle in the background, acting as a sound bridge.

The same editing technique is used to reveal to the Vertigo DC Comics logo. A larger gust of wind (which is almost black- the darkness could be pathetic fallacy) disguises the fast wipe of the logo and the screen fades to black. The digetic sound reaches a diminuendo as this happens.

Fast wipe as the Warner Brothers logo fades out and the Village Roadshow Pictures logo fades in. This is masked by the digitally enhanced smoke, and it looks as if the logo forms from the pieces of the previous one. Uses the same filters as previously for continuity and to reinforce the connotations.

# data[].attributes.body
Warner Brothers logo appears against the usual blue sky. A gust of wind comes along and the sky darkens before morphing into colours with hellish connotations. This foreshadows the religious themes and characters in the film. The logo then disintegrates. Although this clip was silent at first the heavy wind and crackling of fire build up as the logo crumbles. The fire is a contrapuntal sound, adding to the references to Hell.
