VENGEANCE OPENING SEQUENCE

By Fiona Grafen

The opening sequence opens with a dark screen and the dieagetic music begins to play in the background. This sound that is playing sound like a high electronic electric bass guitar and a percussion instrument as well. After a while of those two instruments playing together the electric guitar joins in as well. Around 0.24 seconds the action begins.

The dark screen then changes to having the title of the the film pop up quickly with a red filter effect. This red filter effect could be interpreted by the audience that there is going to be some sort of scary thing happening soon and this is just the build up towards it.

The camera cuts to the camera shot of the camera looking up angle on the fence still using the red filter effect on it. To give the feel of danger or if something bad is going to be happening soon.

The camera then cuts to a mid shot of the fence in the red filter effect. In this shot the company name are shown that help present this film.

How the camera got from the last shot to this shot is that the camera tracked across the fence towards the houses and pass some houses at a fast passé. This makes the audience think that the is a view of what a person can see when he is looking out side a car or on a skate board. The reason why we think this is because it is too smooth the camera tracking to be a bike or running but yet it is a fast passé smooth tracking that makes us think that this fast transport must be something that involves little moving .

The camera cuts to a play set which the camera is tracking around it. The dieagetic music is still being played at a fast passé whilst this is all going on. So far the audience have seen 3 different environments. This makes the audience wonder where this opening sequence is leading them to.

The camera cuts to a layered shot of two shots playing together at once to either show the audience what is on both sides of the road or to give a hint that they are going to visit someone's grave or worse kill someone.

As you can see in this shot the two shots that have been layered together are the mid shot of a grave stone and the mid shot of the fences being tracked through again. The audience could be thinking that maybe the person has gone the wrong way and gone back . However this could also show the audience that this is what the person is looking at around them.

The camera cuts to a black screen with titles of another company that have helped present this film. This shot has still stuck with the red feeling only instead of the red filter it has a black backdrop and red writing.

The camera cuts to the same back drop but with a different font writing which either has a sentence going vertically across the page. What it says on the page could probably be either the name of the film or a name of one of the people who worked on this film or an actor or actress or either another presenter.

The camera cuts to a show of two people having a fight. The red lines that come between the last shot and this shot begin to fade out as the action becomes more tense. This is a mid shot that the two boys who are fighting are in a mid shot.

The camera goes back to a black screen when the titles appear up again. This time the titles are telling the audience that this is a Robert B Rabbit Film. From seeing that the audience can tell either who made it or what kind of film it is. In the dieagetic music you can hear a voice.

The camera cuts to a long distance shot of a road with cars driving past into the distance. This could give of the feeling of neglecting or it could make the audience think that the camera is waiting for someone to appear.

The camera cuts to a mid shot of some road signs showing different places and pointing in different directions. This could be making the audience think that the person is lost and confused about where they are going.

The camera cuts to the camera looking through the door and up the stairs.and the camera tracks upwards The audience could be thinking that either the person has found where he needed to go or that he is here to ask for directions and is looking for someone.

The camera cuts to a long shot of a car park. The audience are probably think that the person is looking around for their car . This could also show that the camera is hidden behind the pillar wall either watching someone or waiting for a person.

The camera cuts to a mid shot of a phone box that is outside a persons house. The audience are probably thinking is this person waiting for someone to come out of the house or is this person going to make a phone call?

The camera cuts to a shot of the two windows on the house and the camera angle is looking up. The audience might be thinking who is he waiting for outside the window?

Camera cuts to a person running across the field and over this fence. The camera angle is a long shot and this makes the audience wonder what is he actually running away from? This also makes the audience think that the camera is watching this person and following there every move.

The camera cuts to a long shot of an empty car park with only one car inside. This makes the audience feel alone and wonder who the camera is waiting for there?

The camera cuts to a shot of the car on the road on its own. This makes the audience wonder weather we are now at someone house waiting for them to come out of their home.

The title of the film re-appears on the black backdrop the red writing makes the words stand out and seem more striking.

The camera cuts to a looking up angle of what looks like a spriral type of stair case. This makes the audience wonder who is the camera looking for because we have not seen anyone's identity yet all the audience feel right now is the feeling of being alone.

The camera cuts to a dog barking at the camera. This camera shot is a big close up. This makes the audience think that the person has been seen by the dogs owner and since he is on their property he is barking telling him to get away.

Camera cuts to a faded shot that fades out and into focus. The reason why the director has probably decided to do this is maybe to show that the guy is waking up to somewhere else or he has been caught and the people who are sitting in the focus are waiting for him to wake up?

Camera cuts back to the title screen of what the film is called and in the back ground is a faded dial meter which you normally see on cars.

The camera cuts to a still shot of two people creeping away from the camera in solute so this hides there identity and you the only thing you can see about them is there body shape.

The camera cuts back to the titles and the black background and starts showing the cast and crew who are starring in this film.

The camera fades out the black so you can see a wind screen and a person sitting in a car. The titles of the people are still being shown during this.

The camera cuts back to the black back drop and the titles still appearing through it and the vertical writing as well.

The camera cuts back to the two people fighting each other. The camera angle is looking down on them.

The camera cuts back to the black backdrop of it and the writing showing through and the other jobs to do with this film and who did them are being shown.

The camera cuts to a big close up of a fence. Where the camera starts to track along the side of it.

The camera cuts to the back ground of the house where they are being tracked along as well as the titles are being played by.

The camera cuts to a sign which says “Road Closed” and the camera moves towards the sign. This makes the audience worried that the person could be driving into a dangerous zone.

The camera cuts to two swings blowing in the wind in a mid shot and the writing playing over it showing the last person who is the writer and the director.
