Two minute film opening - AS Media Studies

Example of an AS Media Studies Film Opening.

This AS Media studies film opening was really good the background music was slow and flowed with the opening scene, the slow music caused a dramatic effect and caused suspense as you would want to know what is going to happen next. The dark, miserable weather makes you assume that the film is not going to end very well and by it being shown at the start gives us an insight of what the genre of the film is. The opening scene started off with a guy who recieved a text which said "its done" this makes us have suspicions to what has been "done" which makes you want watch more. The male character was wearing black gloves, tracksuit bottoms and a hoddie this gives us a impression that he is about to commit a crime or about to do something because streotypically people who are about to commit a crime or have commited a crime are seen to have worn some sort of tracksuit and hoddie with black gloves this gives a criminal look! A lot of close ups was shown especially on the character this showed us the characters emotion. When this character recieved this text he got out of his car and was jogging to a particular place and as he got closer the tense music got faster which made us feel that something sudden is about to happen. This film opening was really good as everything flowed and it made us want to carry on watching the film to see the ending.
