I really like this film introduction because it is so simple, yet comes across as really dramatic and intense. It uses magnified DNA to introduce the story. From this opening scene we get the impression that the film has something to do with DNA and that it is in the science fiction genre which are what opening sequences are meant to do, set the scene. This film falls into the drama/romance/sci-fi/thriller genres.
This shot in the opening sequence starts to introduce the film genre. When the nail first drops in it takes a minute or two to work out what it actually is. When you realise what it is, it makes you wonder why is it there.
Then after the nails have dropped, strands of hairs fall down and the music involved when they land is really dramatic, without the music it wouldn't be as effective.
When the skin falls down the title fades in and then fades out. I like this shot because it tricks the audience into making them think that its snow but really its dead skin being rubbed off someone's arm.
This screen grab shows all the DNA together, more skin, hair and nails all piled up. I could possibly recreate this shot if i wanted to.
I like this shot because it finally reveals slowly what all the 'snow' like bits that were falling weren't actually snow bits they were in fact parts of human DNA. The use of the colour blue makes the opening sequence seem more sci-fi.
I think this shot is really nice because it has been shot in a really nice location. The use of the sepia effect makes this scene seem more relaxing and the lack of any other cars in the same area makes this shot more appealing.
