RESEARCH - Previous student openings

The link above will direct you to the film opening i have analysed, by Jack Simpson, Luke Nightingale, Bilal Salli and Onur Kavruk

Sound
Starting of from the sound when the Ident appears, the sense of a sharp, restless atmosphere begins. The sound changes as the film opening starts, but the same atmosphere is given through sound as we hear a rather suspense soundtrack that matches the actor who is running. A heartbeat is then sounded, automatically gaining the viewers attention, giving them a slight brief but incomplete idea of what happens next. Natural sound is then produced, mixing with the heartbeat to give a realistic feeling.

Editing
Fades and Transitions have been used throughout, to connect one scene to another timing without having to show what happens in between. This keeps the opening consistent.

Mis En Scene
A man is running away in a forest near a lake, wearing smart but rough clothes with a brief case. We can clearly see that the actor is portrayed as an older male, running away from someone, due to confidential information which he possesses.
A computer screen is also shown, giving misleads to what is happening in the forest, as well as implying a connection between the two locations.

Camera Work
a variety of camera shots and angles have been used. for example, close up shots have been used, long shots have been used and also mid shots. A very effective shot used is the low angle shot, where we can see the main characters feet, upwards along with his whole body. They have also used panning shots and tracking shots, which help to create more than one visual appearance, making the audience feel uneasy.
