Title analyse
 
James Bond - Gold finger
 
The opening scene
-          Effect on audience – eye catching
-          Likes: Eye catching, projects picture for some understanding of the film, music is reflect on the film because is song is about ‘goldfinger’, the introduction reflects on the title of the film, dramatic and powerful music which reflect on the strength of Bond and the film. Some scenes at the start of the film. Starts the same way as it ends, gold hand.
21 jump street
 
The opening scene
-          The audience would most likely be teenagers since the clip is all about money, sex and parties and having ‘fun’.
-          Introducing people involved
-          Likes: It keep on the screen, explosives, engages. First 5 seconds of the clip shows many pictures put together very close together, you want to watch more, well-known music, the entire clip reflects on the movie and fast pace. The actor are introduced with picture behind their names reflecting on the film and perhaps on their character they are playing
-          Dislikes: When introducing the actors, it doesn’t show their face and what they look like, a lot of think about in a short period of time
 
Sex, Drugs and Rock ‘n’ Roll
-          The audience once again would be targeted an younger audience rather than a older audience
-          Likes: Voice over the action and keeps going back to her and his band in concert where they are performance to a large number of people and they are mainly girl. It inishes on a high and it reflect on his life
-          Dislike: The clip is basically about his life and it doesn’t really engage me as an audience
-          It is cartoon like and seems childlike though the title is about adult topics
 
I Robot
 
The opening scene
-          Since the film is action packed and science-fiction, the audience would obviously be people who watch action films,
-           Likes: The music begins and straight away I want to know why and what is going to happen. The colours are representing something by suggesting that something bad with the film is going to happen. For example, when the credits are presenting I Robot the colour red is behind the text suggest blood or even death. Then ‘I Robot’ turns into bubbles and then slowly disappears and this could suggest the story is something to do with watch or oxygen. Also, introducing the film with ‘Laws’, I think is a very good idea since it tells the audience some background information, flashbacks – more information and knowledge of what is going on or about to happen in the film. Within the ‘Laws’ there is a very short sense of someone trapped in a car underwater. It suggests that she/he is struggling and could symbolize death within the film, I Robot. After that, it moves straight onto the next Law. After Law II, there is short clip of two car underwater, one female in one car and a male in another, the man is struggling with something but as audience we don’t know what he is struggling from and that suggest to an audience, mysterious and it is slightly frightening because it is a quick clip of what might happen in the film. And again, it is straight onto the next Law – fast pace and quick moving. At the 1 minute 18 seconds point, the camera has stood still on the female in the car to suggest giving up and accepting the fact that she can’t do anything to help the male character or help herself. But something comes out of the blue and it breaks the glass and overall it looks that the male character is going to be saved. And finally what I love about this clip is at the 1 minute and 24 seconds stage, Will Smith who plays Detective Del Spooner (maim character)seems like he has just woken up from a dream. But also it doesn’t give too much information out about the film.

  1. An effective analysis of the opening sequence. I'm pleased by the amount of information you have managed to extract from the clips.
