Inception

Here i am going to look at the opening of Inception, By Warner Bros.
This is the link that i have got the clip that i am looking at from: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbzv3YN9brc

The first clip that you see is a title that looks very effective with the black background, it says from Christopher Nolan, this is the director of the film, before the film opening has ever started this is shown as its very important, the use of the black background with the black and silver writing looks very effective and it makes the audience think what the opening is going to be like, for me it looks as thought its going to be very sureal, and it also gives a spooky feeling off this may mean there is going to be fighting.

13- 17 seconds

Here you can see that the colours are linking already in the film with a sliver thing spinning around on a table this suggests that its going to be a journey that is going in circles, one thing happens from another, they all link together.

18- 34 seconds

In this time you can see very quick action shots of the different areas in which the camera are, one is the helicopter flying and then its landed. throughout this you can see the titles very quickly coming up, again its all continuous as its the black background with the same colour writing. It is very important to ensure that everything is accurate such as the titles to make sure they are the same as well as the way in which the actors are presented as they have to fit there character perfect, you need to have them wearing the correct clothes for there part. e.g. you would not have a posh, doctor dressed in a tracksuit.

34-37 seconds

Here you can see a very strange thing where they are in a corridor and it looks like a loss of gravity as they are floating around, but it also looks at though they are trying to fight each other but finding it hard, they are wearing a shirt with a waist coat this would suggest they are working class, waiters but they also look quite posh this is defining the stereotype as posh people would not be associated with fighting.

The rest of the clip

When all this has happened you can see that the camera moves from the building onto the city, which is very dark suggesting a dangerous place, the camera then zooms out even further and it comes to say INCEPTION  which is black and it looks to have a maze effect around the writing which is silver and the background is black again its linking with the opening in the way that it ends, the reason they do this is to keep the audience on edge and interested in what is going to happen, the use of the very fast edits from one thing to another is to keep the audience on the edge of there seats so that they are focusing on what is going to happen and what will happen next as the opening is not very long, it could show that they are keeping the best parts for the actual film and that they have the fast edits so that the audience will come and watch the film and will remain focused as they are so intense in what happened in the opening.
