The camera angles in The Purge opening scene are mostly high angle long shots to show that they are from the point of view of a security camera. This suggests that all of the crimes being shown are actually being viewed by an audience or being watched by the government. A few mid shots are inserted between the high angle shots to give the audience some variety to keep them entertained so that they aren't watching clips from the same angle multiple times.
Classical music is played over the entire opening scene which contrasts with the intense violence that is being displayed in each clip. This suggests that whoever is watching these clips is in a calm environment and unnaffected by the violence outside. This suggests that upper class people are safe from the violence whereas lower class citizens are not, this is supported by the classical music which is stereotypically related to the highest class of citizens with great wealth and traditional families.
In each clip, people are seen wearing casual, everyday clothing and are not significant in any way, they are not wearing stereotypical criminal/psychopath outfits which would be expected on an event such as the purge. A lot of the clips are filmed during the night so that there is minimal light being used so that the faces of all the characters cannot be seen, this gives the people a sense of anonymity in the clips.The majority of props in these clips are guns or other weapons being used to attack and kill the victims in the clips.
The transitions between these clips are quick cuts and are not the main focus of the clips. The footage is edited to make it look like security camera footage to make the clips seem more realistic and to make the viewers able to relate to the purge night as if it's a real event. Also, the text on each clip flickers too to fit in with the theme of a security camera and it gives the clips a thrilling/horror/paranormal effect.
