The opening sequence of the film Vengeance uses a series of shots with a red filter to build a sense of danger and mystery. It shows shots of fences, graves, people fighting and signs to leave the audience wondering what is happening and where the sequence is leading. Intercut with these shots are title cards identifying the filmmakers to continue building intrigue throughout the opening.

1. Vengeance opening sequence
By Fiona Grafen

2. The opening sequence opens with a dark screen and the dieagetic
music begins to play in the background. This sound that is playing
sound like a high electronic electric bass guitar and a percussion
instrument as well. After a while of those two instruments playing
together the electric guitar joins in as well. Around 0.24 seconds
the action begins.

3. The dark screen then changes to having the title of the the film
pop up quickly with a red filter effect. This red filter effect could
be interpreted by the audience that there is going to be some sort
of scary thing happening soon and this is just the build up towards
it.

4. The camera cuts to the camera shot of the camera looking up angle on
the fence still using the red filter effect on it. To give the feel of danger
or if something bad is going to be happening soon.

5. The camera then cuts to a mid shot of the fence in the red filter
effect. In this shot the company name are shown that help present
this film.

6. How the camera got from the last shot to this shot is that the camera tracked
across the fence towards the houses and pass some houses at a fast passé. This
makes the audience think that the is a view of what a person can see when he is
looking out side a car or on a skate board. The reason why we think this is
because it is too smooth the camera tracking to be a bike or running but yet it is a
fast passé smooth tracking that makes us think that this fast transport must be
something that involves little moving .

7. The camera cuts to a play set which the camera is tracking around it. The
dieagetic music is still being played at a fast passé whilst this is all going on.
So far the audience have seen 3 different environments. This makes the
audience wonder where this opening sequence is leading them to.

8. The camera cuts to a layered shot of two shots playing together at once
to either show the audience what is on both sides of the road or to give
a hint that they are going to visit someone's grave or worse kill
someone.

9. As you can see in this shot the two shots that have been layered together are
the mid shot of a grave stone and the mid shot of the fences being tracked
through again. The audience could be thinking that maybe the person has
gone the wrong way and gone back . However this could also show the
audience that this is what the person is looking at around them.

10. The camera cuts to a black screen with titles of another company that have
helped present this film. This shot has still stuck with the red feeling only
instead of the red filter it has a black backdrop and red writing.

11. The camera cuts to the same back drop but with a different font
writing which either has a sentence going vertically across the
page. What it says on the page could probably be either the
name of the film or a name of one of the people who worked
on this film or an actor or actress or either another presenter.

12. The camera cuts to a show of two people having a fight. The red
lines that come between the last shot and this shot begin to fade
out as the action becomes more tense. This is a mid shot that the
two boys who are fighting are in a mid shot.

13. The camera goes back to a black screen when the titles appear up again. This
time the titles are telling the audience that this is a Robert B Rabbit Film. From
seeing that the audience can tell either who made it or what kind of film it is.
In the dieagetic music you can hear a voice.

14. The camera cuts to a long distance shot of a road with cars driving past into the
distance. This could give of the feeling of neglecting or it could make the audience
think that the camera is waiting for someone to appear.

15. The camera cuts to a mid shot of some road signs showing different places and
pointing in different directions. This could be making the audience think that the
person is lost and confused about where they are going.

16. The camera cuts to the camera looking through the door and up the stairs.and the
camera tracks upwards The audience could be thinking that either the person has
found where he needed to go or that he is here to ask for directions and is looking
for someone.

17. The camera cuts to a long shot of a car park. The audience are probably think that
the person is looking around for their car . This could also show that the camera
is hidden behind the pillar wall either watching someone or waiting for a person.

18. The camera cuts to a mid shot of a phone box that is outside a persons house. The
audience are probably thinking is this person waiting for someone to come out of
the house or is this person going to make a phone call?

19. The camera cuts to a shot of the two windows on the house and the
camera angle is looking up. The audience might be thinking who is he
waiting for outside the window?

20. Camera cuts to a person running across the field and over this fence. The
camera angle is a long shot and this makes the audience wonder what is he
actually running away from? This also makes the audience think that the
camera is watching this person and following there every move.

21. The camera cuts to a long shot of an empty car park with only one car
inside. This makes the audience feel alone and wonder who the
camera is waiting for there?

22. The camera cuts to a shot of the car on the road on its own. This makes
the audience wonder weather we are now at someone house waiting for
them to come out of their home.

23. The title of the film re-appears on the black backdrop the red
writing makes the words stand out and seem more striking.

24. The camera cuts to a looking up angle of what looks like a spriral type of stair
case. This makes the audience wonder who is the camera looking for
because we have not seen anyone's identity yet all the audience feel right
now is the feeling of being alone.

25. The camera cuts to a dog barking at the camera. This camera shot is a
big close up. This makes the audience think that the person has been
seen by the dogs owner and since he is on their property he is barking
telling him to get away.

26. Camera cuts to a faded shot that fades out and into focus. The
reason why the director has probably decided to do this is maybe to
show that the guy is waking up to somewhere else or he has been
caught and the people who are sitting in the focus are waiting for
him to wake up?

27. Camera cuts back to the title screen of what the film is called and in the
back ground is a faded dial meter which you normally see on cars.

28. The camera cuts to a still shot of two people creeping away from the
camera in solute so this hides there identity and you the only thing
you can see about them is there body shape.

30. The camera cuts back to the titles and the black background and
starts showing the cast and crew who are starring in this film.

31. The camera fades out the black so you can see a wind screen and a
person sitting in a car. The titles of the people are still being shown
during this.

34. The camera cuts back to the black back drop and the titles still
appearing through it and the vertical writing as well.

35. The camera cuts back to the two people fighting each other. The camera
angle is looking down on them.

36. The camera cuts back to the black backdrop of it and the
writing showing through and the other jobs to do with this
film and who did them are being shown.

37. The camera cuts to a big close up of a fence. Where the camera
starts to track along the side of it.

38. The camera cuts to the back ground of the house where they are being
tracked along as well as the titles are being played by.

39. The camera cuts to a sign which says “Road Closed” and the camera
moves towards the sign. This makes the audience worried that the person
could be driving into a dangerous zone.

40. The camera cuts to two swings blowing in the wind in a mid shot and the
writing playing over it showing the last person who is the writer and the
director.
