opening sequences and m-e-s

1. positioning
The positioning is used to construct the sub-genre as the camera had to be close enough to the car to see its intense moves but the camera angle was needed as if it was just one long shot of the car driving off there would be no suspense of the chase which may have change the genre of the film.
2.lighting
The lighting was used to construct the sub genre as you needed it to be day in order to show the intense chase in more detail. This helped better than a nigh time clip as you cant see much of what is going on plus you need to focus on everything in the scene to understand it all so natural daylight was much needed.
3.acting
The acting was used to construct the sub genre. This was because how well the actors performed because of the way they acted it really brought the genre to life and within the opening scenes you can clearly tell what the genre is.
4.costume
the outfits the actors were wearing made the clip feel more verisimilitude this is because the costumes they wore fitted the genre as if someone was wearing something different it could alter the genre
5.hair and makeup
The hair and make up helped to create the sub-genre as the actors were quite dull and covered up which would suggest they were about to do something criminal but they looked tidy so no evidence can be seen.
6.expression
The facial expressions in this scene were bland apart from one of them but it was like they were covered up as they weren't showing any emotions this contributes to the genre as something that serious shouldn't really have a different emotion.
7.setting
The setting made the sub-genre more verisimilitude as the way so much detail went into the background/scenery to really squeeze all you can out of the chase. It also helps as a big city with more money makes sense for a crime.
8.props
The props made the sub-genre  clear as guns are associated with crime so if a gun is involved with anything people automatically think it's a crime movie this was easy for them as they could put in a couple of guns so people would understand a bit more of what the movie is about.
9.props
Secondly police cars help construct the sub-genre as people associate the police with crime so having the prop persistent through the opening scene helped form the idea that it belongs to the crime genre.

opening sequnece (m-e-s)

guardians of the galaxy vol 2 in opening sequence you see the main protagonist fighting an evil monster while baby root dances around in the background.  the positioning of the camera throughout the opening sequence is from a far and using a shallow focus as your attention is mainly focusing on groot. the lighting in the scenes were really bright and it has a glow to show the object they are working around is not a normal thing. the acting in this scene was quite serious at some points where as the small character you focus on is messing around. the costumes are quite unique as there group is quite diverse and they are meant to be from different planets or mutated. the facial expressions are focused in their work except for groot who's dancing happily. the setting was really vibrant and the background goes into extreme detail. I think there is one title which appears in the opening scene. The Dark Knight in the opening sequence you see a robbery of some sort and it ends wit

opening sequences and narrative theories

Guardians Of The Galaxy vol 2 I think this opening sequence follows parts of equilibrium and binary opposite theory the reason for this is that in the short clip we see everything is just normal ( in a way for them ) then it kicks off a bit which suggests they must have a resolution since they have the equilibrium and disruption. I also thought it was apart of binary opposites the reason for this is that they have the good and the bad coming together and fighting against each other.   The Dark Knight I believe the opening sequence follows the enigma code the reason i think this as in the scenes you don't really know what is going on and theres a lot of mystery surrounding it. Another thing is that there are little clues like when he takes of his mask and reveals who he is however you don't really know his plans and gist of what is going to happen next

opening sequences and editing

J-cut-as he’s walking up the boat their scene starts playing before he reaches the top Shot reverse shot-the magic guy and the audience Jump cut-him up the stairs L-cut as he’s walking away you can hear the guy shouting him These are used to create the genre as they can be mysterious and they show some action movie hints as the robbery gives it away i think this clip follows the enigma code the reason for this is that you don't know much of what he is doing or going to do as we don't find out much in the scene.
