By analyising this opening I know that for a Rom/Com film opening it has a lot of close ups to establish the characters as well as tracking and establishing shots to set the scene.

Audiences atrracted.

In order to attract the right audience to my film opening I will need to know what Rom-com film fans are attracted to and who they are. Here are details on users from the rom-com 'This Means War'.

Juno

Im going to compare with other rom-com films to get a broad variety and better statistics. I can see from these statistics that most films viewed by males aged 18-29 but the website used (IMDB) is predominantly used by males.

Film Opening Credits Timeline - Zombieland

Film Opening Analysis - Zombieland

Straight away you know this is going to be a zombie sci-fi film, just by the title! After just 23 seconds you can see a zombie. The credits don't actually start until 2.40 mintues in. Throughtout the whole opening there is various shots of people running away from zombie while the protaganist is talking. There is use of diagetic sound as well as a soundtrack throughout. There are lots of camera angles used mostly close ups, establishing shots and re-establishing shots.

Film Opening Analysis - Green Street Hooligans 2

This film is based on the real events of prison riots and as its a sequel the first is based on football hooligans in England. You can tell straight away its going to be a gritty and violent film. The person you see has tattoos and is in his prison cell and eventually makes his way outside to the yard and you see other prisoners all with tattoos. This is a stereotypical prison setting. Diagetic sound is used with dialogue, footsteps and the clanking of the prison doors opening and closing.

Film Opening Analysis - Juno

Right from the begining you can tell that this is going to be a funny, quirky rom/com. It starts off with happy and romantic song. The girl is drinking Sunny D and wearing converse so you know its going to be aimed at a young adult audience. As the most of the shots are meant to look like they are drawn rather than filmed you can tell its going to be a funny film. There is no diagetic sound in opening just the song. It starts to sing about hugs, kisses and marriage again emphasising that its going to be a rom/com.

Film Opening Analysis - The Avengers

We have to research film openings similar to our briefs. The first one I watched was Marvel's 'The Avengers'

 

 The opening credits tell you straight away it's a film about superheroes with something that signifies each hero and each actor playing that character's name next to it. The credits are in a sliver colour along with the font it gives off a very metallic feel. This is emphasised with the dark low key lighting keeping with the metallic feel. The way the light shines on certain parts it looks as if it is natural lighting. There is a soundtrack used with intense and dramatic music being played. There is also diagetic sound of Thor's hammer hitting the ground.
