Analyses of Film Openings
This film is a action crime film, with the typical conventions of swearing , smoking, lots of different camera shots and guns. the opening of this film starts off with a definition of pulp, this is unlikely within a film opening but works well to describe the narrative of the film. the opening scene starts off with a man and a woman drinking coffee in a stereotypical American diner, they start to discuss their past robberies in places such as Conner shops, then then proceed to ask for another cup of coffee kiss then, burst their characters into the film and rob the diner, the scene freeze frames then goes on to show the title pulp fiction along with all the actors producers and the film institution. the swearing throughout the scene confirms the film to be a 18 and the genre in which it is. the lighting in this scene illuminates the faces well so you can see the focus is on the two character and you know to watch them.
the film the dark knight starts by showing the names of the 3 intuitions that produced this film(Warner bro. pictures, legendary pictures, dc comics). the film then goes on straight into the action typical for a action film, this helps you discover the action within the film straight away. the action starts by men robbing a bank with the expected conventions of masks guns dressed in black, and a highly regarded American bank. the men then go on to rob the bank but have been instructed by the "joker" to kill one another, there is a lot of violence in the opening scene, but no blood or gore this is what gives the film its 12 rating, the later reveled "joker" then escapes by driving a yellow American bus out of the building blending in with the rest of the yellow buses on the street.
the opening scene to final destination 3 is mainly focused on showing the credits of the people who were involved in this film, the names are written in a old fashioned circus/ fairground font that you would see on a poster, blending into the background of old fashioned cirrus stereotypes, like fortune tellers boxes, tarot card etc. the film then proceeds to go onto a group of kids at the fair where you can see numerous amounts of potential danger. the opening does not give you a very good idea of what is to come but you can sense the tension with the screams from the fairground rides and the old fashioned spooky circus freaks. the music adds to the atmosphere by creating a spooky sense to the genre of horror/thriller.
the happening starts with the opening credits that proceeds to go on for a long time before the film starts the production company 20th century fox, show their title and logo before the credits begin. the background to the credits gives you no indication the plot or story line but later on you would understand why they used this in their opening scene, the clouds gradually become darker and the music playing in the background gets louder, this could sum what show the the film might to to a bad end, but it doesn't show this well. the narrative then starts with a establishing shot of central park and the people in it, that are happily walking around minding their own business, then the characters in the film freeze and begin to commit suicide, this immediately tells you that the film is going to be a horror genre and shows why it is a 15 rating as you can see blood and death. there are many different shot types used within this opening scene, for example a point of view shot when the workers are falling from the building and a aerial shot when it approaches central park in new york.
