Fantastic Voyage(1966), directed by Richard Fleischer
Genre: Fantastic voyage strays from the conventions of the previous comedy/quirky genre I had previously been looking at. Although not directly related tot the genre I plan to use for my opening it is an opening I think I can take a lot of inspiration from. The opening displays short videos in a montage sequence of men and equipment in a laboratory which immediately points to the Sci-Fi genre. The sound effect reflect a scientific world and clearly display elements of a science fiction film.
Narrative(enigma): We don't find out much in this opening but we do get introduced to a character right at the beginning and at the end who seems to be undergoing some sort of medical procedure. By not revealing too much in the opening sequence it captures the attention of the audience and encourages the to keep watching.
Atmosphere: The atmosphere in this opening is very serious, which contrasts highly to the last two I was looking at. There is no backing music which leads the audience to believe that this could be more of a realist approach to cinema.
Titles: Typewriter font suggests a serious film covering serious matters.
