Click to expand... No. The first scene of the move/series shows a man being killed in the street. The movie/series starts with a shot of a man being killed in the street. If you're not talking about the very first scene of the whole thing, then use "One of the scenes in the film/series shows ...".

They never have been. "The first scene of the movie is of a man getting killed in the street." "The movie begins with a scene of a man getting killed in the street."
