DS: 3 Film Opening Examples

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCiGyaSPRhI - V for Vendetta (McTeigue, 2005)

-This opening sequence includes the menacing mask with the sarcastic grin, which is the mask I feel would be good to include in our opening.
-There is also a few CUs and POVs of the mask which is also something which we could incorporate.

-This scene uses a chase involving the psycotic murder and vulnerable victim.
-The antagonist chases the victim in a slow yet intimidating pace, which shows he is sure of the conclusion of the chase.
-The protagonist is frightened and desperate to get away as we see her scrambling frantically to escape. As I mentioned in my first idea, I feel this would be a good convention to put to use.

-Albeit this is not the film opening, it uses an idea I thought could be effective in our project.
-The film is located in a rural area, surrounded by forestry, which creates mystery and seclusion.
-There is also a church central to the village which is effective when the drama begins as it connotes the satanic spirits rebelling the church.
-The use of partial obscurity also helps add mystery to the antagonists.
-I think this could be a good idea to use in our opening, to isolate our victim.
