Usually the film will have an intense opening to get the audience thrilled
to find out more. Film openings may reveal small details about the setting or
the characters. An example of this is presented in the film ‘Juno’ – the girl
is walking around her village. As the camera follows her round, we find out her
village is full of excitement, unlike the character, who is just drinking her
milk casually. This foreshadows the rest
of the film, implying the character is relaxed in her community.
A good film opening should also include the credits, so we know as the
audience, who produced the film and the cast. An example where this is shown is
in the film, ‘Flubber’. We see the members of the cast being projected onto the
sky setting in sync with the music. However, in recent times, film editors have
decided it’s best for the credits to be shown at the end of the films.
We can tell what genre a film is based on the music selection in the
opening. If it’s upbeat like in ‘Skyfall’ we can predict the film is going to
be an action- thriller genre as it suits the mission intense heartbeat. Also in the film ‘Skyfall’
we can hear the singer Adelle lyrics. She sings, “This is the end”, which
suggests there will be a mission event during the film.
