Analysing Intro Sequence ZEN

Today in class we watched the intro sequence of a TV series called ZEN.

From the first moment it was clear that would be a crime drama  because we see men in suits and shades looking very strict and concerned. To emphasize this further we see a close-up of a pistol lying on what looks like a table and in the hands of what looks like a detective. In addition, we see a whole screen filled with different pistols which looks like they have been hung in the evidence locker of some police station. We also know that pistols are usually used by the police force and the criminals which yet again connotes that this series will be based on crime drama. 

Also we see a monument which says QUESTURA which is usually found above a police station in Italy. In addition, we have other codes of Italianicity found throughout the clip. An example of this could be identified in a still life image of a whole row of parked original Fiat 500 which are often related to the country in which they were invented. Also we see most of the images with a red, white, green filter which are the colors of the Italian flag.
