I've chosen to analyse the opening sequence of "Sucker Punch" because it successful as it gives away the genre of the movie; action (the main genre) and fantasy (sub-genre). It only shows the distributor of the film and no credits while the title of the movie is not shown till 4 minutes in, but the title has been embedded into the scene. within the first few minutes, 1 person dead and 1 person gets shot, with this the main character is already introduced but gives the audience anticipation for what happens next for them. The graphic, set and costumes all indicate what type of movie it is. However it gives mystery as to who stars in the movie (if the audience has not seen promotion) as well as to what lays ahead for the main character.
I've also chosen to analyse the opening sequence of "Scott Pilgrim vs The World". As well as being a successful movie, it also has a successful opening sequence where the main characters, setting, soundtrack and theme are introduced. It's also give the audience obvious signs of what the genre of the film is. Moreover, some things are mysterious like who the main character meets along the way and what happens when he meets people, but things like him being in a band gives indication on what the movie will include. There are credits incorporated into the scene such as the distributor and the cast. But it also is embedded into the theme of the scene and the movie as a whole.
