There is a close up shot of the male at the top, which explains his worried and tense emotion. Maybe it could mean that he is the mastermind of the break out of prison. In addition, it illustrates a direct mode of address glaring right the camera.
This probably means that this series will be mainly based about him. 

In this scene at the bottom, you see four males trying to outrun the police cars at the back, this creates the feeling of worry and nervous. This clarifies that they have already broken out of prison and trying to blend in the woods at night time so it will be hard for the police to spot them.
