In the opening scene of Shooter, we see the end of a gun poking out from under grass. In this first picture alone we can see that the film is going to include violence in some way. We then see a medium shot of two men hidden under camouflage, grass and twigs. The next thing we see is one of the guys looking through the scope of a gun and we see what he see's through the scope. It then switches back to the two men and we get to see their face. We see that they have face paint which connotes that they are in the army or military.
