Setting of the opening scene is in middle of nowhere. The idea of nowhere clearly shows by the long shot of trees, pond and country side location. Set up of location reveals the character is isolated person. A character is dressed in grey cardigan and loose trousers who is about mid 40 with short brown hair.. Grey cardigan connotes evil side of the character as later on the film we as the audience know he is a happily married man with beautiful wife and adorable daughter age 13. The conflicts shown in the opening scene is a man and his creation of poisonous drugs. The close up shot of small brown bottle shows the drug plays crucial role in the film.Throughout the opening scene of 'The Vanishing' the world is shown happy which makes the audience secure and calm but some how the tone of the sound in the opening explores the world is dangerous.
