These are a few films that have really good opeing scenes, they have the same sort of style I want to show in my opening scene.

What is an opening scene- 

Opening scenes are all about setting the scene for a movie, it shows the audience what the film is going to be about; what the film is going to be like, how it is going to be presented, how it is going to be filmed and most importantly setting the scene. Some opening scene's are taken over by the opening credits that show who made the film the production team etc...

I think that the best opening scene's are the ones that start off the story. for example the opening scene to limitless is really good because it shows us what he's life is like before he finds out about the pill that changes his life.

I think that this is a very good opening advertisement for a network, warner brothers is one of the biggest names in the movie business, this is why there advertisement is so good. This one is perfect for a bit blockbuster like a new harry potter film because it sets the dramatic scene with the loud music and the intense movement of the logo.

MEDIA BRAINSTORM- expressing emotion through dance 

What makes a good opening scene to a movie?

some opening scenes to movies work really well but some fail because they arn't set up properly, from my research i have found that the best opening scenes are the ones that tell a story. The opening scene is your first opportunity to engage the audience, if you do it right you will have the best start to your film. It is very important to have a good opening scene, personally i think that it is one of the main parts to a film. 

 

I like this picture from men in black because you can see the seriousness on there faces when you know that the film 'men in black' is not a serious series. Will Smith is most known for his roll in 'fresh prince of bel air' so the contrast between comedy and seriousness makes the film interesting and incising for the audience.
