We have decided to watch 3 openings of films to grasp an idea of how films start and see how we can apply that to our project. The 3 that we chose all come from different genres, to see how that affects the openings of the films. The films that were chosen were The Killer, 2023, Napoleon, 2023, and Sonic the Hedgehog 2, 2022. The films we chose are all recent as to avoid any old media trends that could interrupt our film. I will be writing what I see while viewing these introductions.
The Killer: Somewhat of a mystery as to where the character is at. The camera pans over the character but does not show his face until later. It leaves us unsure if this is the main character or not. The character's voice is non-diegetic and gives oversight while I'm assuming the same character sits in a room looking out of a window. The character's hearing of the Smith's song is also played into the audio like we are the character hearing the music.
Napoleon: This opening gives us background through text which underlines what is going on in France at the moment in history. Also shows royalty panicking which creates some suspense. Also tells the name of main actors in title cards. This movie begins with the execution of Marie Antoinette, who was a part of the royal family.
