Opening Sequences.

Fast and Furious 7 Opening

This opening sequence introduces the main antagonist of the film. We can see this as he walks through the hospital with all the SWAT officers on the ground injured. Usually in film the authorities are presented as good, therefore from this the audience can see that the antagonist who has killed them is the bad character. The questions that are raised is who is the man who is killing the officers. One other question that is raised for the audience is what does Jason Statham want. This assures the audience to watch on as they want to find out more about the character and keep them intrigued on how the other characters will face him and defeat him, as quite unrealistically, he kills an entire SWAT team. 



Halloween (1978) Opening

In this opening sequence the titles are introduced, as the pumpkin flickers it could represent how the film is a spooky horror. The soundtrack of the opening is quite fast paced whilst the camera dollys in. This shows that the film is supposed to be quite serious and spooky. Another way that makes the audience recognise the genre is through the use of low key lighting, when the pumpkin flickers off, the shot is in complete darkness, therefore allowing the audience to be curious on what is going to happen next. It could make the audience question what is making the pumpkin flicker on and off, whether it is possessed or something dark is controlling it. 





Drive Opening

The opening titles are introduced in the sequence. The use of low angle shots could suggest that the character in shots is the main protagonist as he drives around the city. The bright colours of the title 'drive' could suggest how the film is based around the 1990s as it looks very stylish and also pink, which also could suggest how it is all about the city life. Questions that are raised for the audience is who the driver is? Where could he possibly be going and what is he doing when driving around at night. The use of low key lighting darkens the mans face, creating shadows in the car. This makes the audience find it quite difficult to identify who the character is, allowing them to be more intrigued and find out who he is.
