Bourne Supremacy (2004) directed by Paul Greengrass, is one of four movies about the character Bourne. Its action thriller and has famous actors and actresses such as Matt Damon, Karl Urban and Julia Stiles.
The first scenes are taken as if he is in dream. To get this effect they used a hand held camera which made the shot blurred and shaky. There are the non diegetic ambient sounds of waves and rain paired with Indian calming music.

Then fast cuts are created showing numbers and flashing images of people paired with a voice over of a man saying 'This is not a drill soldier.' This creates enigma codes and makes us question what the man is talking about and who the people are in the fast cuts. This technique is very useful for creating tension and making the audience want to watch on and find out the answers. The calming music then starts to turn into piercing sound making the whole experience of his dream more sinister.

The dream then ends by the non diegetic sounds coming to a sudden stop ending with a gun shot. This increases the enigma codes and puts the audience on edge. A close up of Bourne's face is shown and the whole shot is shot in chiaroscuro lighing which gives a sense of suspicion and fear to the viewer. As he sit us text on the cut tells us that is it is set in GOA India, which explains the indian music at the beginning.
