When I saw the opening of this I fell in love with it as it gave me brilliant ideas and it's just so engaging! Although it's not a great meaning type of suspense, it has a lot of drama in which we're looking for and I think it's good to look at other potential openings to get inspired. When the actor or protagonist is finished with his dialogue there's a fade out into the opening sequence which consists of an Indian sound track being played but an up beat one and showing the fast shots of diverse places, scenes. This is a digetic sound as the audiences are expecting a high up beat sound to be played during the sequence as if it was rock it wouldn't quite make sense and if they wanted to confuse the audience they'd include this. But having a foreign language engages the audience to tune in with the beat as it's very entertaining during the fast shots being shown.
Focusing on the sequence mainly as it can give us ideas when opening our sequence. The sequence starts of with an establishing shot of the setting with the sky looking bright blue, showing it's a beautiful day. The way the names are showing up it's very effective as it's symbolising the lock to the bank kind of thing which foreshadows a vital storyline in the film. We can use a similar theme when having names up on our title-sequence and kind of shape it in a way/form which would keep the audience attained and could possibly cleverly create a significant meaning later on. Creating enigma and action codes. When we see an establishing low angle shot the camera is panning left whilst the screen names are being shown, this is effective as this wouldn't bore the audience making them feel engaged towards the sequence being shown. In line with this there consists of a reflection being shown of the sun when their is a blurred effect this depicts a sunny day, and also engages with the audience.
The camera moves in line to the beat of the song, when the chorus or lyrics aren't in the music the camera tilts upwards and pans side ways slowly creating a high-angle shot were the official title is pronounced 'inside man' clear and in the middle gaining the audiences clear attention. From their the audience are encouraged to gaze at an art work which there not aware of having a close-up view on this then showing a long-shot of the road and car moving. Then their consists of fast shots of various of art images representing or conveying a certain message to the audience that it may be significant later on. This allows the audience to get thinking is happening their consists of shot/reverse shot of close-ups of the art images this is been done continuously reminding the audience that it's something important which they should keep in mind as it's being shown throughout. We see the same van stop and when it's ready to leave their is a title been taken place showing the big buildings allowing the audience to see the setting/location. What I feel is most encouraging is when they're under a bridge driving the audience are encouraged to look upwards focusing on the different camera angles this is something that get's the audiences attention keeping them entertained. In the rest of the sequence their consists of shot/reverse shot of various of things which is very affective.
The target audience for the certain 'opening-sequence' would be aimed at 13-49 year old I picked this as teens would be excited looking at a different country especially when there's a vast variety of camera angles being taken place allowing them to feel engaged continuously. Also the audio is vital too as it keeps them entertained. For the older ones it would too as it consists of architecture showing art images having this in fast shots would attain their attention which is good. When doing our production we clearly can't make it this long but what we can do is shorten it out so we can keep to our time limit also, when we do our title-sequence the screen names we can have it in the style/shape/font according to our story line as it can cleverly foreshadow and convey a good message to the audience keeping them motivated and entertained as it's for teenagers.
