Analysing Opening Scenes - 'Jaws'
The first opening scene I will be looking at is for the horror film 'Jaws', directed by Steven Spielberg.
The scene contains the following conventions typically found in opening sequences:
- Production company logos/idents
- Titles - including cast and crew and the name of the film
- Introducing the setting
- Introducing characters (though not the main characters)
- Creating enigma/mystery
- Indicating genre through music, setting and lighting
