ONE FOR MY BABY

Some of this opening sequence's good aspects of practice are:
  •  Sound conveys the feelings of loneliness as small sounds such as the ticking noise and the water tap running are very loud. This gives an unusual tone to the opening sequence, as if the character is trapped.
  •  The mise-en-scene shows a very messy room; clothes are lying everywhere, a lamp is knocked over, and a bottle of alcohol is lying on the floor. The amount of alcohol could indicate that the character is in depression.
  • The use of different types of shots had good variation. They used many different types, including:  close-ups, wide shot, focus pulls, pans, tilt. Many of these shots, especially focus pulls, were used to draw the attention of the audience to certain objects such as photographs and alcohol.  
ABSOLUTUS

Some of this opening sequence's good aspects of practice are:
  •  The mise-en-scene was very good as costumes reflected the genre of the opening sequence. Some of the props - chemistry equipment - also suggested that the sequence is a science-based film.
  • The titles were created in a very interesting way, as element names were used to replace some letter in people's names in the opening credits. This suggests from the start, that the opening sequence will be related to chemistry and science.
  •  The use of lighting, particularly during the beginning scenes of the opening sequence is low-key, and makes the audience more empathetic towards characters because they are in the same type of feeling - lost, confusion.
