Foundation Coursework - Brief

For my coursework I am going to be creating the opening sequence for a film from a genre of my choice. This will last for roughly two minutes and will include titles and production company logos.

I will start by researching the conventions of opening scenes, looking at films from a range of genres, in order to find any similarities. Once I have decided on my genre, I will then look in more detail at opening scenes from that genre to see how the genre is presented.

I will be recording all of my research and planning on this blog.

Below are a number of opening scenes, taken from some of my favourite films.

'The Shining' - Opening Scene

'Trainspotting' - Opening Scene

'City of God' - Opening Scene
