Six Feet Under

                               
What I like most about this opening is the effect on time. I like how some parts are sped up and some parts are slowed down. For my film I would like to speed up aspects of it.

One aspect I was planning on speeding up is the process of the murderer getting ready. This could give the impression that he is in a rush to do something, such as murder. I would have a montage of shots of him getting ready, step by step. Originally, I was going to spread each step out, throughout the opening. However, I believe a fast paced montage of shots would be more affective.

What I also like and would like to incorporate into my movie is how the text moves with the actions on screen. As well as this, I like the emphasis of the individuals body parts, rather than their body on a whole. 
The focus on the hands alone builds up tension in the audience, as well as slight enigma. In my opening, this could be incorporated when the murder is getting ready. The focus on his hands alone keeps the suspense as well as hiding his face. This should keep the viewers on the edge of their seats, wondering who the man getting ready is.

I also like how many of the actions happen on-beat to the music. The music I have been looking at to use for my opening, all have a beat that could easily have things happening in sync with the music. I believe this would be affective in my movie as often when things happen in tune with the music, the audience jump or seem shocked. Overall, it seems to tie things together nicely.
