In the opening title sequence 'Kalendar Prince' the sequence starts off with a mid shot of a ballerina walking onto stage and getting in a ready position. The scene then cuts to a mysterious man saying begin. We cannot see the mans face, only the outline of his side profile. After the begin, classical diegetic music starts to play. We know this is diegetic because it starts after the man says begin. The music adds an eery vibe to all of this which makes the audience wonder what is actually going on. We then start to get different shots of the ballerina dancing and we also get a mid shot of the man, whose face is still in the shadows. The way the man is sitting and in addition the fact that he has a drink makes me think that he is some sort of mob boss in a way.
The ballerina keeps dancing, but we are also starting to notice some things. Whilst she was dancing I noticed that there is a scar on her shoulder. The fact that the camera keeps pointing it out makes me think that she has been abused by the man watching her dance. This could propose the idea that she is under his control. Next, the ballerina then soon falls and a different man walks behind her holding a gun. The mysterious man that was watching says enough which stops the music and signals the man to approach the girl. He grabs her by the hair, points his gun at her, and in the background of a shot of the mysterious man we hear a gun shot. This makes me believe that this girl was dancing for the man's approval, and since he wasn't satisfied, he killed her.
Next, the man with a gun comes back out with a new girl. She is begging him to stop but soon stops because he shows her his gun. He waves it at her, which signals her to get in the same ready position as the previous girl. With all of this information, I can infer that there is definitely the possibility of this being a human trafficking situation, where these men kidnapped these girls and are trying to see which is the best one.
