As shown above is the opening sequence of my second movie example, named "Frequency".
Analysis - THRILLER
1) SOUND - The sound used throughout the extract is a mixture of non dieagetic and ambient sounds. You can distinctly hear the voice of a news reporter speaking as the credits begin - discussing the actions of a serial killer. This allows the viewers to establish small amount of background knowledge towards the plot of the movie before it begins.
2) MISE-EN-SCENE - The extract itself begins during the night. The clothing worn in the extract is presented very distinctly. For example, after the collision happens, it becomes clear the the firemen are on their way to help - glowing jackets, helmets...etc. The attention to detail in terms of clothing is what can make a movie believable (realistic), something which this movie has achieved successfully.
3) EDITING - The credits take place throughout the whole introduction of the movie. It begins with the credits slowly fading in and out in a "typewrite" font, enhanced with a fluorescent glow to increase its visual appeal, keeping the viewers enticed to the opening credits as well as the movie itself.
4) CAMERA - The extract opens with a Computer Generated shot (CGI) from space, allowing the viewers to observe the frequency waves given off from the sun. This is used as visual representation in relation to the title of the movie - Frequency, giving the viewers a detailed reference to the purpose and plot of the movie.
