Opening sequences

Hello :)

We are now researching opening sequences which are similar to the idea we have.



This link is to the opening sequence to "It's a boy girl thing". We thought that this opening sequence was good because it introduces to contrasting characters, as it shows the contrasting mise en scene and the exchanging dialogue.



This link is for the opening sequence of "10 things i hate about you". This opening sets the scene of a high school by using familiar mise en scene for a high school. The contrasting music and cars between the girls. This introduces the main character in an awkward position showing the atmosphere of high school and the feeling of being new.



This is for the opening scene of "Mean Girls". This again sets the scene of a high school, showing the different stereotypes of the school students. Showing the atmosphere at school.

We are each going to watch one of these films to analyze them in more detail.

Nice choice of opening sequences but you could analyse them in a little more detail - how exactly is contrast created in each, how is character created and how is equilibrium/ disruption effected and what enigmas in each compel us to view on? May also want to add a general section at the start summing up what job an opening sequence has to do, why it is so important and what genre you have chocen to work in? This will add more depth to your research.. (Mrs D)

It would be useful if you could embed these sequences as clips in the blog? (Mrs D)
