RESEARCH - Film openings that are similar to our coursework:

In our media coursework for our 2 minute film opening we wanted to add a monologue over the top of our chosen music. Here are some films that we are getting motivation from, in order for us to get ideas in what to say for our final video.

OPENING MONOLOGUES OF OPENING SCENES:

The Big Lebowski:

The voice which is used to narrate the opening scene is deep and old, insinuating on how moving it is and how much it inputs the viewer.
He tells this story over shots of the city which the film is based in -'Los Angeles'. This helps develop an idea of which type of genre the film is about and what the character is like in the film. The music which is chosen also helps describe what the film is going to be like and whether it is serios ect.

Lock, stock & 2 smoking barrels:

This opening scene is a little different to the one above because it hasn't got any music in the background until further into the opening scene, and goes straight into dialogue. It's also more humorous and chilled out by the way the character is speaking to other people in the film. When the first thing goes wrong in the opening scene the narrator then steps in and starts to describe the characters.



Trainspotting:

This opening scene starts off energetic and busy with loud music. The narrator starts straight away, and he is the character in the film. This works well because its as if he is talking about his life and his choices.
