The film opening of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace establishes the time period by displaying the words "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away." These words fade out and back in with the title "STAR WARS" accompanied by adventurous music. The opening credits are printed against a black background and fade into the distance as unsettling violin music plays, creating intrigue and hinting that the movie may begin with danger or mystery.

1. Analysis of film opening
Star Wars - The Phantom Menace
The Movie is set in the past a long time ago since the beginning image of the opening has words
written in blue "A long time ago in a galaxy far, fat away...”
The words are then faded out in the shot and faded back in with different words with STAR WARS
with background music to exaggerate the feeling that this is the name of the movie with adventurist
sounds.
The opening credits are then printed and disappearing into the distance, it’s quite effective since the
background is black there's a graphic match from black screen to space meanwhile, disturbing, violin
and mysterious music can give the impression the movie may start off with a warning or panicking
situation which is an enigma code.
