Casino Royale (James Bond)
The opening scene of this James Bond film is done using a black and white filter. We know from the very start that this will be a thriller type film. Extensive use of low angles are used to show the power of these people. Lots of tracking shots are used to show tension building up. They all wear incredibly formal clothes and this portrays that an important job is taking place. For my opening, I see the importance of costume as it puts people under stereotypes. Low key lighting is used to build up tension. There is a complete change of location of a cricket match. This toys with the viewers emotions. We work out the man with the suit is potentially an antagonist and Bond of course is the protagonist. The character with curly hair and unbuttoned shirts is also portrayed as an antagonist. The incidental music backs this up as well. The anomily set in this opening sequence is who is this person who Bond meets, is he good or bad as he seems to know Bond. We also want to know why the man in the suit seems to know about the cricket match.
Inception
The opening scene in Inception starts with a man dressed in normal clothes. He then sees his children however a special effect has been used to make this blurry to portray that he is seeing it in some sort of blur. The location changes where he is transported to a rich looking building. The Mis En Scene, the clothes that everyone is wearing show a substantial and exclusive setting. This scene completely contrasts with the scene of the man being washed up on the beach. The audience as am I am are very curious as they will want to work out why he has suddenly been transported to a completely different location instantly. Various close ups are used to show the mans rough expression and jump cuts are used in the building. A huge sense of mystery is used in this film which makes people want to continue watching. We know from the incidental music that this will go under the genre of a thriller.
Pans Labritnth
This genre is fantasy. Some of the qualities I would like to add in my film. The close up of the girls face shows the sinister qualities of this film and thus shows it might own some horror aspects. The incidental music and the foley effects of the lighting show that this will have some action qualities. The graphics used in this show the gothic type nature of this film. The heavy breathing which carries on through various scene of the girl running. This I believe is extremely atmospheric. I would potentially like to add this in my opening scene. The mis-en-scene shows that the film was set in the early 20th century especially with the vintage looking cars. It is very important to set a time frame. A shot reverse shot and a two shot are illustrated to show they are under a mother, daughter relationship.
Kite Runner
The fourth film I will be talking about is The Kite Runner. This starts with the distributer logo of "Dream Works". The music connotes an arab type, eastern European. We know this film is a drama by the dramatic type music, and the blood stained pieces of paper that the credits are set on. The font used gives exciting and thriller type film. The paper and ink from which the credits are set on connote that this will be important feature within the film. At 2:30 there are kites flying in the air. Thus concludes what the title is and we know that this will be the main focus of the film.
Full Metal Jacket
The fifth scene I will be talking about is Full Metal Jacket. Various enigmas are put across for example why do these means shave their heads, why is there so much discipline and why is it so violent? What regiment are they part of? High key lighting is used in this intro to show that the army barracks are safe and secure. There are many close up shots especially when the cadets are getting their hair shaved off. The loud diegetic music fears the viewer as it is a shocking sound. Close ups on the faces show emotions. Some show fear and some show a sense of excitement of a new beginning. The music connotes a regimental and army atmosphere. The costume show cadets smart and formal. They are all equal and thus no chance to put across an individual persona. An unpleasant and uncomfortable atmosphere is put across.
