What is the purpose of a film opening?
The purpose of a film opening is to give the audience a clear idea of what genre the film will be. This is done by introducing the main characters of the film to set the scene which is enhanced with a soundtrack that reflects the overall tone of the film. Film openings are also made to give the production staff and main actors credits. One common feature that occurs in all film openings are having a few credits at the start, the title and then more credits. Additionally, another common feature is presenting the logo of the production company at the beginning of the opening so that the audience are aware of who orchestrated the film. Here is the opening of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo that I thought showed the common features of most sequences.
