MAIN POST 3A: further looking at openign sequences

I there are many opening sequences that all fit different genres, I looked at a few of them from this link http://www.youtube.com/results?search_type=&search_query=opening+scene&aq=f&gl=US&hl=uk 

The first opening sequence that I looked at was ‘Breakfast at tiffany’s’
I thought this opening sequence was good as at the start it had an establishing shot, which our questionnaires also found out that our audience also liked this showing that Hollywood films also use these starts. I also liked the way that at the start of the opening sequence the taxi came into the shot then at the end of the opening sequence the women walks out of the shot, I like this idea.
The Mis-En-Scene also works well together as she is dressed in expensive clothes then also looks at a ‘tiffany’s shop’ although she gets out of a typical American taxi which could make the viewer’s question her overall status. The music goes well with the scene also as its slow.
They don’t use a variety of shots which I think they should of as there is a shot of the women eating for 20seconds,I would do different shots within this section such as a close-up on what she’s eating.
The text also takes up most of the shots making it hard to see the action behind it.
Although as a whole I think it is a good opening sequence.

The second opening that I watched was from ‘courageous’
I enjoyed this opening sequence as there were lots of different shots in a sequence showing the man’s actions.
I think the camera work in the sequence is strong as the also focus the camera to show dirt on the car and use point of view shots.
Although I think there should have been music such as in the action sequence I think there should have been fast music to show action.
The Mis-En-scene was also good as it showed that it was set in America as the cars were American cars and also it showed what type of city it was by the car being nicked.
