On Monday 27th of September 2010, our objective was to gain an understanding of different genres but also at the same time gain a few ideas for our two minute film opening. In this lesson, we watched different examples of film openings. One of the films we watched was Sherlock Holmes (2009)
We watched the opening scene of this film, we noticed that no credits appeared until we were 6 minutes into it. In many films we usually see the credits appear in the first couple of minutes of the opening, but featured films like this one can afford to make their opening scenes quite long.
To help us build up some of our own ideas we looked at many different types of genre, a few of which were:
Comedy- Hot Fuzz, Shaun Of The Dead, Super Bad & Spoofs
Indie Alternative- Juno & 500 Days Of Summer
Horror- Se7en
Chick Flick- Sex In The City
Brit Film- Kidulthood
Action- Matrix, The Born Identity & James Bond
Documentary- Supersize Me
This is an article about the openings of films
