Rebel without a cause

The first two minutes of the movie is a mid shot of the presumably main character. This long take is mostly covered by names of important employees, but it is still possible to see the character fall asleep on the street. The take ends with a police siren, but the cops aren't visible until the next take. In the next take, the police siren slowly fades, and there is a short take following the main character and two cops holding him up as a dolly shot. The first lines of dialogue appear in the next take, where the main character is followed with a panning shot, then they are shown to be interrogated and stripped by cops, and this is where the first two minutes end.
