Film openings similarities and differences

Film Openings

James Bond - Quantum of solace 

TED

The Vow

Anuvahood

Saw 7

In these film openings there are a lot of similarities for example close ups; all 5 films show close up shots, some to show tension that something is going to happen and some to just show relationship between the characters. When there is tension in these films the music changes dramatically from being slow to fast this builds up the tension and draws you into the film and it also shows something extreme is about to happen these are things these 5 openings had in common.

There were also differences in these film openings, the James bond quantum of solace showed a lot of pan shots which showed speed and different angles. The comedy film TED was a lot more different from the action and horror film as there was much slower, calm music and not fast loud music which brought up the tension in those films. The comedy TED also had a first person narrator at the beginning which gave you an insight of what the film is going to be like as you go along. 

Films can be very different or very similar depending on the genre.
