Conclusion on all genres

Conclusion 

Overall, all of these opening scenes have something in common, that is that they all introduce a main character and do not give away too much of the narrative, which is very important and a key factor of introducing a film. All of these opening scenes also use a variety of sound in the opening sequences which set the atmosphere and scenery. 

The Boy in the Stripped Pyjamas and Iron Man, begin there opening sequence with non-diegetic sound of a song/soundtrack playing. Both of these songs and non-diegetic sound are very different and juxtapose between each other hugely. The Boy in the Stripped Pyjamas begins with a light and soft soundtrack of a piano and then Iron Man begins with an upbeat and high pitch song playing. Both of these are parallel sounds to their own film and the film genre and what the narrative may be. 

In conclusion my favourite and the one I think was the most successful genre to analysis the opening scene of was the movie Shutter Island, which was thriller. In my opinion I think it was the most successful opening scene and was the clearest that it was a thriller genre. It was the most mysterious and was able to grab the viewers eye the most and makes the viewer want to watch more.

My second favourite sequence to analyse the opening scene of was Divergent, which was a Sci-Fi genre. This opening scene does not make it clear and specific of what type of genre it is, which allows the viewer to think for themselves and find out. This opening scene sets a possibility for the narrative and grabs the viewers attention.

My least favourite and the one I think was least successful  opening scene to analyse the genre of was drama and romance, which was The Notebook. Due to the lack of narrative that was portrayed throughout the clip and the long duration of the clips, dragged this opening scene on and allowed to viewer to loose focus/interest and get distracted.
