The Italian Job Opening



As you can see throughout the entire opening you can only see the camera focusing on the most important parts of the opening. Around the main important parts all you can see is black this suggests that it is wanting you to see the most important part. At the very beginning it is showing you the picture that starts off very small and gradually gets bigger it then is shown in yellow and when its expanding it changes colour to the original coloures.

Throughout the opening it uses diffrent camera shots such as zoom in, close up, long shot, tracking shot, and more the use of diffrent shots show that they know what they are doing, it also shows us the audience that we are actually involved in the film and we are seeing everything that they want us to see. When the camera has a close up its usually used to show the emotion or something very important in the clip.

When you see this all it looks like is some thing in the river, this is a in town area this suggests that it is working class and that there is lots of people in the area. The use of the colours also show working class as it is very dull and dark colours such as gray, brown these are all negative colours, this means that they are not happy and peaceful which you would think yellow and white.

Gray suggest dull, sadness, danger

Brown suggests, danger, boring

You also see that the titles are also in these colours and a very dark yellow, this means that its assosiated with the film, this has been well thought-out as it all links together this means that the titles link in with the film to make it look more professional. The titles are in very plain text, such as Arial,  this means that it is easily readable and clear for the audience to see when they are beginning to watch the film.

  1. A fairly useful analysis, Barry, particularly with regard to the denotive/ connotive elements. It would be improved if you were to use screengrabs to illustrate your points. I would also like to see you explicitly explaining the generic significance of some of the elements you mention in order to consider what you might include in your planning/ realisation.
