Face/Off

Face/Off:

Within the opening sequence there were many techniques used including things such as;

• editing
• Camera

within the editing technique they have used things like slow motion, Fazing in and out during scenes these are good as they make the movie entrance interesting.
Camera shots and angles were changed and used through out the entrance sequence such as when they first introduce John Travolta and the child they go in from close shots and far distance ones, they also use close up shots on Nicolas Cage when hes laid down on the grass.

Great gory shots, beginning was too long started to lose interest, the jump editing with old fashioned dirty film was really well linked with the subject. Hybrid genre, Horror/Thriller. Detective theme, crime and political. Good contrast at the beginning of the shot form 'boring' to 'what the hell?' Good blending with the film and titles. Titles were on their own where as the film didn't have an over lap of words. Camera shots were very varied with long shots and close up shots, which gave it a effective feel.

Memento

The opening sequence for 'Memento' was really effective. It was presented in a very different format as it was played backwards. This clip showed a man processing a Polaroid photo, leading back to when he actually took the photo. we found this really interesting as it lead back to how the story began or ended, we don't know at this point whether the scene was the beginning of the story or the ending due to it being played backwards.

In this opening scene we really liked how the music went well with the scene and how the photograph lead us back to the real place and time of which the character took the photograph. We feel the opening scene makes you really keen to watch the rest of the film, we feel it sets up the film very well! =]
