Opening Sequence Research 4

Sherlock
Drama

 This first clip shown in the opening sequence is a long shot from a high angle showing the movement of busy London life.

 I think this landscape shot is great for showing the viewers the location of the film, whereas in some other films it is shown in text before the scene, furthermore I think this footage shows some originality.

 Even though this is a similar shot to the first, I think it looks more like someone is watching movement on the street, which is introducing the audience to what the film is about.

 Close up shots are then shown adding to the detective, spy feeling. It is also making the audience strive for the excitement the gun is portraying.

 I love this layering clip used here as the word 'Bomber' is standing out but still the landscape London shot is used which makes it more interesting. They could have just had the word in front of a plain background however the landscape is still showing the audience the mystery in a potential plot or action.

 This high shot is showing the power and status of the film looking down to the street action, which could also represent the watching of a certain car or person. I think a shot like this could be repeated in my sequence as it also relates to CCTV footage.

This layering effect again used here turns a plain clip of a woman/potential character walking into an interesting mystery making the audience think by showing the different symbols.

I feel this shot is really moving because of the contrast of the cream background with the red blood dripped onto it and the thought of who's blood it is and why it is being looked at so closely.
