To help create a good opening sequence for our main task, we have to look and study other opening sequences and see what makes them good. Our group (Katie, Joel and me) decided to look at the 2009 film adaptation of the book Coraline by Neil Gaimen, starring Dakota Fanning.
Here's the opening sequence-
Our Analysis
- The music creates quite an eerie effect with the soft music and repetitive nature, making it seem quite creepy
- The focus on certain elements throughout the scene such as the buttons show that they are going to be an important aspect of the film.
- It contains titles, which is a general convention of opening sequences.
- The treatment added the opening sequence during the post-production stage, is a green murky effect which adds to the coldness and slightly odd nature of the film.
- The mechanical hands shaping and creating the doll act as almost a god-like figure.
