Nine Frame Analysis

Hello to my readers. I haven't blogged for a while - I'll admit that - but we've started planning for our 2 minute film opening! Yay! For inspiration, I have been looking at some opening sequences but I have been looking at their nine frames and I analysed these clips using the website:

I first took a look at the film that I have already posted on my blog called 'Moon' which was directed by Duncan Jones. I have also a included the opening from 'Moon'. 

Throughout this, every time I have seen this opening I always like how the opening introduces us not only to the world that the character lives in but to how the character lives in that world. I like this idea and have already got an idea of introducing the world my characters live in during the opening sequence. 

I then took a look at another nine frame sequence and analysed it from 'The Walking Dead'. I have never seen this TV show and took the advice of someone to look at it after I told them I was doing a dystopian film opening and my ideas that I had at that point. 

Throughout this opening sequence two things were brought to my attention: a) don't use music that overpowers the action and b) do not focus too much on the world the sequence is set in. This also made me realise that I wanted to know more about the characters and was given no information.

The opening to 'The Walking Dead' is below:

Overall I like the opening sequence to 'Moon' the most and have taken some ideas for my own opening sequence from it.
