Conclusion of Genre Posts

 

In conclusion, each opening scene establishes location, and each opening scene establishes time period quite well and also establishes genre quite clearly which will help audience members grasp what kind of themes will be involved throughout the film.

However ‘The Hateful Eight,’ was different to the other scenes in the way that no characters were introduced throughout the whole scene. I believe this was to completely dedicate the opening scene to location, rather than focusing on narrative and characters. 

Also, ‘The Matrix,’ varied as we could not easily tell which characters were good or bad. I believe this was done, to seem more mysterious and to keep the viewers on edge. 

Also, ‘Bad Times at the El Royale,’ was different from the rest, as the whole scene was shot in one angle, one position and did not move. I believe this was to mimic the idea of a mirror which could have something to do with the narrative of the storyline.

I believe that the most successful scenes were either, ‘Bad Times at the El Royale.’ Or ‘Split.’ This is because first off, these are my two favourite genres of film so they captivate me the most. Also I believe Split, is really gripping as the danger is slow burning until the very end of the clip. This mimics how the captives would feel in this situation; everything is slow and you feel frozen. It gives us just enough away to keep us hooked. 

The same goes for 'Bad Times at the El Royale,' as the opening seems to be quite light-hearted from the music but the ending shocks us into wanting to watch more.
