A film opening is designed to set the theme for the rest of a film, in the opening the viewer meets the main characters, finds out what genre the film is and knows the background of the characters.
The first film opening i am going to analyse is from the film 'Spiderman 3'. In this film opening we meet the main characters, these being Peter Parker who we find out is actually spiderman, his girlfriend who is an actress at a theatre and Peters enemy in the film Harry. Within the opening scene we are also shown a clip of spiderman swinging through the streets of New York which shows that the film is going to be an action. Later on in the film opening we see Peter chase after Harry to try and apologise for his fathers death however Harry ignores this and drive off, just before this scene we fid out Harry has bought Peters girlfriend a huge bunch of flowers showing his love for her.
The second film opening which i am going to analyse is from the film pineapple express. The opening of the film starts off in black and white and it is showing a secret lab which is developing the growth of marijuana, in this black and white scene we also see someone smoking marijuana and giving feedback on it, there are lots of funny remarks being made which hints that hints that this film is going to be a comedy. After this it goes to present day to the life of a salesmen called Garth, straight away we see him smoking more marijuana and then he drives to see his girlfriend who is still at high school. While they meet they straight awya have an argument which is showing their relationship may not be that strong. The final thing we see in this film opening is some high school boys talking to Garths girlfriend and we see that he feels threatened by them and that possibly his girlfriend may prefer them to him. In conclusion we find out in this film opening that the film is a comedy about marijuana and possibly Garths and his girlfriends relationship.
