Opening Credits
Opening sequences are there to bring you into the world of the film. The credits are there so you can see the main people of the film (billings: the top names).
The conversation: 1 shot. 1970’s Paramount pictures. Colour by Technicolor.
Once upon a time in the west: Dark. Diegetic sounds, slow camera pan up. Men at different doors of a railway station. Who are they? Terrorising an old train ticket inspector. Dramatic then it goes slow paced. Paramount Pictures.
Clerks: Black and white low quality hard to see. Guy in a bed talking.
The Notebook: Opening scene there is a river and a sunrise. Birds flying and there’s a girl looking through the window.
People watch films because of escapism and to get away from their everyday life.
