The 10 best movie openings

On the 11th of January we studied the 10 best opening films. The top 5 were (starting with 5th) :
  • Once upon a time in the west
  • Halloween
  • Reservoir dogs
  • The spy who loved me
  • Jaws

We watched Once upon a time in the west, we looked out for camera work, editing, sound and mise-en-scene. For Camera work we noticed a tracking shot which showed the relationship between the cowboys. In editing there was a long take when the fly was buzzing around his face. It is all real time the characters have to wait for the train so the audience has to wait too. Sound, the sound was diegetic; there was ambient sound and hyperbolic sound of the train, and NO dialogue which gave the sequence more versimilitude. Mise-en-scene, the charcters matched there outfits as in tatty and untidy.
