Since inspiration is clearly needed for this project, I've found and analysed three different film openings from both the sci-fi genre and the drama genre. I'm still conflicted on what genre I want my final project to be based on, so I did some more research.
The first film opening I found compelling is from the 2024 production of
Fly Me to the Moon, directed by Greg Berlanti and written by Rose Gilroy. I especially admired the way they formatted their credits. Since this movie is set in an environment filled with technology, the font that was chosen to display their credits was very suitable. It's corporate and thin, giving it a sophisticated look. This film opening is also based on character development, showing the personality of the main character and how he interacts with both the world and other characters. The colour scheme of the opening also seems to match the business-like, serious environment.
Moving on to the analysis of the second film opening, I've chosen a sci-fi film. This is Dune: Part 2 (2024), the sequel to Dune (2021). The opening begins with ominous music, setting the mood for the upcoming story. The narrator speaks of the past events that have led them to their current situation, providing information and background information about their unknown world. By opening with this narration, it hooks the audience by making them want to know more about the situations of the characters.
The last film opening I will be discussing will be
The Hunger Games (2012). The title was included in the beginning text narration introducing their world. This is a sci-fi film based on a dystopian world set in the future, where the world is separated into sections of the rich and the poor. By introducing the world through the background storytelling, the audience is able to understand the main character's situation better.
