Analysis of Opening Sequence, Fasts 6

Fast and furious 6 is a crime/action movie with also a bit of comedy, because its the 6th film in the franchise the opening sequence is a recap of all the previous films from 1-5 to show whats happened. The soundtrack in the sequence was recored specifically for the film called "we own it". It fits the conventions of sequences because it shows all the credits during the sequence and then the title at the end, it starts off by showing the the production company then moves on to the cast starting from the main characters to some small characters and then towards the end shows costume designer, music by etc. So in this sequence they have shown all significant credits at the beginning and the story so far and where the film ended so it leads us into the next story.

Analysis, Taken opening sequence

Taken is also a crime/action genre film. Similar to the fast 6 opening sequence it has music in the background although in this sequence the music is quite simple, the first minute it is focused on the daughter as it shows clips of her from when she was young this shows that the story may be focused around her and it also focuses on the dad so its easy to tell who the main characters are. The credits are all put into the opening but very discretely, this tells us what kind of film its going to be. It only shows the main characters name "liam neeson" and the production companies etc.

Opening sequence- Quantom of Solace James Bond

Quantum of solace is a full on action film. In the opening sequence it again like the other two sequences has music in the background this music gives a feel that the film is a serious film, the sequence shows the genre by using an explosive scene in the first couple of minutes that involves guns and fast cars, this shows that this film is violent. The credits are at the end of the scene and have they have only told us the who plays the main character (Daniel Craig) this may be because  Daniel Craig is the only character from the film that's in the opening sequence so the audience will immediately want to know who that is and who he is character is f they haven't seen the film already. It shows the production companies (Sony pictures, Columbia).at the beginning of the sequence before the film has started.
