Opening Sequence : Momento ...


 This is the introduction to the film memento. It is a very unusual opening sequence as we are watching what seems to be the occurrence of the film but it is going backwards. This creates a sort of flashback sequence which confuses the audience a little which I think has been deliberately done to confuse the audience. This idea would be useful if my group decide to do a crime film as we will be able to play the crime backwards which leads to uncertainty and confusion about what is happening in the film with the audience and creates suspense which will make the audience want to watch more.

Opening Sequence : Identity ...

The scene opens with dark , dim and secluded lighting and colour . The director decides to pan over pictures and use landscaping aswell as over-the-shoulder-shot , the framing is tight and close ups with the words in newspapers left in focus .There is no speech from the only actor on screen and the only speech that is made is in correspondance to the images being shown . We the have the Diagetic sound of the thunder storm outside.

Opening Sequence : The Bone Collecter ...




The scene opens with a dark , dingy lighting to set the tone and mood , the camera panning across NYC gives a point of view shot , the focus used is close ups keeping complete focus on the main character at all times . The performance of Denzel Washington is confident and authorative , the director uses the effect of slow motion ; sound is non-diagetic slow paced high pitched sounds.

Montage ... Opening Sequence ...

Today we decided to go ahead with the idea of using a montage at the start of our opening sequence which we thought would be good as it is something which isn't used much within AS level Media Studies and it explains our  story line quickly without taking up too much of our allotted time ; the tricky thing is getting the right time between slides ...
