what have i learnt

What have i learnt from my open sequence research?


I have learnt that the structure of the sequences are all different from each other, for example a film like spiderman would have a layout like a spiderweb with the credits layed out on the webs. When making my own opening sequence i will be focusing on the presentation of titles, which is most important and deserves to be shown first. The music will also set the scene per say because if an opening sequence had soft relaxing piano music it would be automatically make the viewer assume it is a light hearted film aposed to a superhero film.

Things that create a good opening sequence is an establishing shot, structured order of imprtance and a genre that can be understood in the first 30 seconds. From the three opening sequnces i have studied i have learnt that to make a good structured opening scene there has to be an order of importance for the credits. Non-digetic music also helps to piece the scene together, without this the genre is harderto grasp. For instance, 'The Shinning' opening scene has long brass music, that creates a sad tone, dark and mysterious i will take these into acount when creating my own opening sequence.

Things i have learnt from studying film openings is that without certain pointers, it can be very easy to create a bad scene. Without an establishing shot, non-digetic music and order of importance the scene would not piece together very well.  The narrative and structure of the opening sequence of a film should construct of a described structural framework that underlines the order and manner of the titles,framed images on screen and contrasts them together.
