What Genre (Or sub- genre) of film is it (Tyrese)

For our product we have chosen to produce a thriller type film opening with the sub genre of spy thriller.  from our research as a group we decided that this genre although not so popular in terms of Bfi statistics they're however very successful with their openings for examples (when done properly) it is very easy to establish the codes and conventions associated with this genre. The choice of credits, typography and edits are so important for this genre as it helps to understand the tone and mood of the product

Inspiring Title Sequences

Alex Rider Stormbreaker
The film itself is inspiring because it captures genre related aspects which are similar to our own. This film may not be a thriller but it is spy sub-genre and relates to a teen audience which is the same thing we wish to do
The opening title is also interesting as it captures some significant establishing shots of the London, the setting of our genre may not play the biggest part in our product however we believe that our primary audience who are from a British region will be able to associate themselves with the setting, so they will find it easier to decode the story line, this effects the success of the opening sequence because if the watcher is able to understand our coded ideas

Skyfall
The Skyfall opening is a perfect example of a stylised film opening as we are able to steal hints of the
narrative whilst simultaneously being kept out of the loop. although we are not shown the whole story line this is compensated by the discrete side of the opening giving us an insight into the mood of the film and also establishes the tone and genre of the film without having to be directly told
The editing skills put into it definitely made the opening as interesting as the film its self.

Significant Shots

Bond falling into water connotes downfall or the losing of himself

A significant shot of a woman which implies that instead of the antagonist being a male it may be in fact be a woman which would be a counter-type
The over shoulder shot implies that she could be untrustworthy which is emphasised by her sinister smile

The fire connotes destruction and because it is images of bond burning this could imply his down fall or even the m16
