Analysing Opening Scenes - 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'

The first opening sequence I am going to analyse is from 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' which belongs to the action/adventure genre.

The opening scene contains the following conventions:

• Production company logos (Paramount)
• Titles/credits (production companies, actors, director, title of film)
• Music typical of the genre
• Introduces setting
• Introduces the main character and reveals his character traits
• Indicates genre
