Discussion of other film openings

Before creating our film opening we watched a number of different films and television series to get inspiration for our opening.

We had previously watched "Memento" when studying different thriller openings. Although the film was confusing and hard to understand, we were able to understand the different time periods.





When the film was in black and white it represented a flashback of the protagonist's life. Where as when it flashed back to picture in colour, it represented his life in the present time.

We took inspiration from this, and so involved the technique in our opening. However, we differed ours in the sense that our black and white represented current time, where as when the motion becomes colourful it represents 6 months earlier.


We had also watched the opening title sequence of "Dexter". We really enjoyed the fact that the credits were involved in the action.
