The film opening i'm analyzing is 'Red Lights'. The video is not inserting for an unknown reason so I have left link below:

The hook within this sequence is the male character, which
is the only character shown. He’s is only shown for a few seconds and he is
surrounded by some technology which makes the audience curious of who he is and
what he is doing. The last few seconds show that it’s set in a city, and the
constant images of the lights suggest that the film is constantly moving around
different parts of the city.
The images of pictures and the ‘black and white’ setting
suggest that it’s in past tense. The images of the skulls and hands suggest
that the film is thriller. The only colour which is shown is through the
lights, which suggests death and blood, also linking to thriller genre. The
font of this opening sequence is white, which are in capitals, which doesn’t
give too much away to the audience. The only colour which is shown is red,
which suggests blood and killing, also linking to a thriller/crime genre.
The sequence has a lot of straight cuts, which increases the
pace and suggest that a lot is going to happen. The camera is shaky, which also
suggests the genre of the film. The music is very earry, which builds tension
and encourages the audience to keep watching.
The reason I used this specific film is that the genre it similar to our film opening. This film opening, in comparison to our, are similar as one of the main character is only shown for a few seconds and is hidden, which is the same for Red Lights.
