Analysing Opening Scenes - 'Inglourious Basterds'


The fourth opening scene I will be looking at is from 'Inglourious Basterds', a war film directed by Quentin Tarantino.

The scene contains the following conventions commonly found in opening sequences: 

  • Production company logos/idents 
  • Titles - including cast and crew, names of production companies, the title of the film
  • Introduces one of the main characters (the antagonist)
  • Introduces setting
  • Creates enigma/mystery
  • Reflects the genre through iconography
