Opening Sequence Research

• Gives audience a clear indication of the genre due to the colours and movement from the actors
• My favourite camera shot was when it was rapidly moving backwards between the cars
• It could make the audience feel a build up of what might occur next in a positive manner due to the bright colours of the clothing and the atmosphere created by the actors.
• Cutting between the current scene of the "dance show" and what is occurring elsewhere assists the audience to feel as if a cliff hanger is about to happen and they are unsure of what might happen next.
• This is because the cuts between the scenes are appearing more frequently to build up the tension. 
• The use of slow motion from the larger and more choreographed dance moves gives the audience more of a chance to observe and feel amazed by these curtail and amazing dance moves.
• I learnt about the different camera angles that we could use in our opening and how this would create effect for the audience.

• The intense and simplistic music starts right from the beginning of the opening sequence 
• An extreme close up shot of an old man with very dim lighting, when he carries on his emotional speech the camera zooms out.
• This is my favorite moment as it provides the audience a chance to view only his facial expressions and are not aware of what the surroundings might be.
• It also allows the audience to feel as if there is a build up of tension as the lighting is very dim and the audience is only able to tell what the situation is just from the speech that he is giving which provides the audience with a clear genre via the speech and mystery of this scene.
• This opening taught me how important lighting is and how it can portray the characters mood, feelings, scenario etc at that moment and how it can make the audience feel.

• Start off with a black background with the aspect of middle eastern style music initially starts off quiet then begins to become more intense.
• The writing appears in a middle eastern style which could give the audience the idea of a correlation between the style of writing and where the film maybe set which would correlate with the genre of the film.
• My favorite section of this opening sequences is how you feel a strong sense of culture and story from the music that is being played and the style of the writing which reflects into the background as well.
• I learnt how crucial it is to correlate the music and the font with the style and genre of the film in order for the audience to understand what the film might be about straight away.
