So starting out today i would like to talk about film openings in my genre and how they compare and what they bring to a film as a whole, and today my example will be Pulp Fiction opening and as well as American Beauty, also Juno, and a most recent film Lady Bird Four very good openings with a decent timespan of each other. All these films all fall under the same genre A.K.A. Drama they each have a unique and different openings they all give off some sense of reality and nothing too crazy.
So starting with the earliest Pulp Fiction. The first scene of this movie takes place in a dinner, with a conversation between two people and seeing as this was in a diner. I can't really say much about this opening other than talk about the looks of it, it was all mainly a conversation other than their hairstyle's and clothing you can tell it's more of a blast to the past film and also a sudden everyone put your hands up out of no where shock.
Next on the board Their is the opening scene of American Beauty which was fun experience to watch(shocking as well). To start this opening sequence was very funny and it had stuff that made it Seem R-Rated i never checked the rating. in this you have a girl at first talking about how pathetic her father is and then ask a guy to put him out of his misery, after it cuts to the father narrating his own life and sadly him jerking off in the shower. He talks about how unhappy him and his wife are and his wife and daughter don't seem to really like or respect him at all.
Now let's begin with the Juno opening sequence something cool i wasn't expecting like a drawn look of the main character going around her town as they are showing credits and help of the making of the movie and it's pretty much that with some background music entering a store for a pregnancy test later finding out she is pregnant.
To finally kick us off on our last film which is Lady Bird which is a movie about a catholic school girl who goes by the name of lady bird and who doesn't like her mother at all for the most part so with this opening sequence her and her mother wake up next to each other from the same bed and talk for a bit then going over to a car ride where they just got done listening to a tape then they start to talk and then start to argue to the point of where her mother starts insulting her and telling her she is gonna fail at life and then lady bird had enough and rolls out the car as it is driving skipping to a scene of her with a cast on her arm saying F*** you mom then it goes over her schools routine of first days back.
So those were pretty crazy all around but the main purpose of these are i would say for a shock purpose all of them pretty much had a what the hecky moments in my opinion and were all pretty unique i say the biggest change in each was they had less dialogue and more action as things went on
