Opening Sequence Research 5

Killers
Action, Drama, Thriller

This location effect is used in many openings and it not very original, whereas it does show the audience that someone is being watched and followed, giving the 'action, drama' genre away.

I like the idea here of tracking a fast moving object on a map, which I could try to use in my film. It can show the audience the location, where the object is headed and makes them curious as to why they are doing this.

I like how the screen has been split in an un even half, with tinted footage which creates an interesting contrast as well as composition.

I find this a creative but relevant image for the title credit, as the hole effect can represent bullet holes.

I think this low angled movement shot is perfect for showing a fast moving object, in this case a car. I would be quite interested in taking some footage of a car, so I am quite inspired in this directors techniques.

This footage would be quite hard to repeat as the camera is moving just as fast as the car, possibly from a helicopter or using a crane. However, it is effective as the audience feels as though they are moving with the car.

A close up shot of the driver is a good way to introduce a character, it also describes a lot about them. For example, here actor Ashton Kutcher is in a suit and driving a Ferrari, showing he is wealthy and potentially important.

This shot is showing the car slowing down. It is very focused as the object is not moving as fast and is telling the audience that they are about to be shown the location that the character is trying to get to.
