The Social Network Opening Scene

In the opening scene of the social network the audience hears mark Zuckerburgs girlfriend dump him and call him a swear word because of the way he acts,she then walks off and leaves mark on a table on his own in a busy pub giving the audience an effect of loneliness and thought rehabilitation.Because of the social awkwardness of mark he then starts to get jumpy and decides to leave the thirsty scholar pub  suggesting that mark lives and studies on a campus as the name of the pub suggests this,when mark leaves and the directer uses birds eye views of were mark is running to to get out of the pub and into his flat the camera eventually lowers down to mark running through a campus of a university confirming to the audience that mark studies at a prestigious university because of the size and design of the campus.

The fact that mark studies at a prestigious university could give the target audience the effect of smartness which could lead to the whole plot of the film by making a billion dollar company.
