Film Opening

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
 
 
One thing which i quite liked about this film opening is that there isn't a Setting and Location. It's just filmed around the colour Black and uses animation to do so. This makes the audience wonder Where will the Setting and Location take place ? Just like i did.
The title of the film is printed in bold letters during this film opening and then its wrapped in black silk which allows the audience to gather there first impressions of the film by the opening.
There is no key characters introduced in the opening of this film apart from animated human figures, which allows the audience to create imagery of what the characters may look like. There are the names if the actors featured in small font to inform the audience of the Actors who will be particpating in this film.
The atmosphere and mood set by this opening is very mysterious as not much is revealed in the opening and it leaves it up to the audience to create first impressions on the film.
Before the introduction starts, Small font is used to identify the Studio Company of the film and illustrates to the audience who have created the film.
The introduction establishes the genre very neatly, as it's very mysterious and it will be a film which keeps the audience on their toes throughout!

Conventions of Film Openings.

Filming Openings include-

 I watched the opening for Breakfast at Tiffany's and it contained all these things!

  • Carry the title sequence
  • Title of the film
  • Introduces the key characters
  • Sets the atmosphere and the mood
  • Identifies studio company at the beginning
  • Establishes genre

Filming Openings include-



The Hunted is a prime example of how an opening film introduces these conventions -
  • Setting and Locations 
  • Carrying out sequence 
  • Title of the film
  • Introduces key characters 
  • Sets the atmosphere and mood 
  • Establishes genre
  • Identifies studio company at the beginning 

          Before the conventions of film openings , were very diverse - 
          For instant "Physco" conveys a classic opening.




 Some points that reflect how the two openings are different- 

  • Establish shot to emphases the setting and the location 
  • The title of the film is shown at the start 
  • Credits are all introduced at the beginning
