1. Opening Sequence Analysis
The NoteBook
This film is underneath the genre romance. The opening scene is very calm as it
shows beautiful settings with the water moving in a relaxing manner not
mentioning the sound of a piano playing a stunning, gentle tune. The credits
stand out as they appear on a black background whilst the writing is white. It
also shows a canoe boat, a house and birds flying; this gives a little insight into
the movie.
Monster Man
This film is underneath the genre Horror. The opening sequence begins with the
showing of names and the title of the movie including some creepy slow music
however the font is not normal and the letters are plotted about.

2. The creepy music then starts to build up with noise increasing the audience’s
heart beat as they are waiting for a shock. The movie then kicks into a very gory
scene involving a man trapped and terrified, heavy breathing and weeping. In
this part there are a lot of close up shots showing this emotion.
Final Destination (2000)
Final Destination’s opening sequence is very mysterious showing objects, giving
you an insight into the movie, leaving audience left to wonder. There are many
different backgrounds for each credit this is a good thing as it isn’t boring. The
fact that the text has a shadow and blurred proves that this is a creepy film.
There are a lot of flashing images of the light shining off a metal fan. The music
builds up then calms down at the end when the last words left on the screen is
‘THIS IS THE END’followed by the directors name by the side.
