Below are several film openings belonging to AS media students from previous years. I will breifly analyse the openings concluding their advantages and disadvantages to encourage myself to create innovative ideas to use in my opening.
This thriller stood out for me as the distinct use of music immediately informed an audience of the genre being thriller. The consistent use of black and white colour throughout adds a spooky and mysterious aspect to the opening. The students successfully used special effects to convey the killing of the character despite its standard, it exceeded AS expectations. Lastly, the titles displayed the genre with the simple yet effective fade in and out technique furthermore matching the theme of monotonous colouring.
This particular opening I found gripping throughout due to its effective use of titles and shots. The genre of a chase was signified from the start with the shots alongside one another. The titles were creative as it followed a feature in the shot adding creativity and uniqueness. Music used accompanied the theme and allowed the audience to feel gripped throughout. The title was significantly shown between titles matching the requirements of a 'Film Opening' rather than a trailer, it left the audience thinking what was yet to come due to the cliffhanger. Overall, this opening was extremely well produced.
First when watching this opening you struggle to understand the relationship between the characters and categorise the film opening as an average piece of work. This is until the title sequence is introduced which increases the uniqueness of the opening. The artistic streak shows a significantly clever title opening conveying the male protagonist shown at the start to be the main character throughout the film. Despite the music change not being smoothly executed, the title opening conveyed a clever, intriguing film opening.
