Analysing Opening Scenes - 'The Dark Knight'


The final opening sequence I am going to look at is from Christopher Nolan's 'The Dark Knight', which belongs to the superhero genre.


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

  • Production company logos/idents 
  • Introduces one of the main characters (the antagonist)
  • Introduces setting
  • Creates enigma/mystery
  • Reflects the genre through iconography and music
