Excluding the trailer introduction till 1 minutes and 20 seconds. The opening scene to The Matrix (1998) starts off with a basic, yet very significant vertigo effect is reached, although contextually speaking it has no relevance to any types of shots, it is a great use for the transitioning which we see into the front, circle of a torch.

 In addition to this we also see a closeup of a police officer, we are emphasized to see him squinting (due to the closeup), and therefore we know that the abandoned hallway is very narrow, very dark too, hence the the torchlight - this also tells us the mystery of what danger lurks in the shadows, and therefore creates suspense.

 We then see the panning of the camera to the audience's right, while slowly losing focus on the first police officer we saw earlier, to showing the rest of the squad. Similarly a panning shot then occurs when another officer takes the lead, we then see a medium shot that is angled low from his back, this is to showcase and demonstrate the very unfamiliar nature of the setting - the crane shot here is demonstrated.

Later on we then see a Steadicam sequence projected behind the police officers, also creating a silhouette and almost a POV shot. Likewise then a panning shot that movies to the left in order to have a better view of the door as all attention is diverted towards what is behind the door, so it then again creates suspense while completely not acknowledging everything else in the background as we did earlier. A breach of the door then sends constant camera panning from left to right to increase pace, while then flashing of lights from all directions also complements this. Finally then a tilt from a desk going upwards slowly reveals which we presume to be the protagonist or antagonist's face.
