What i should look for when analysing the opening of the film. 

When analysing the opening of the film you have to look at all of these points;

• Sound and music (does it set the scene , indicate the genre and time?)
• Intertextuality 
• The opening shot , how is transition handled?
• Establishing shot 
• Titles ( font , colour , size , positioning , wording )
• Narrative enigma , exposition ( how is it provided? ) 
• Length of opening course ( how does it end? fade ? jump cut? audio bridge? ) 
• Charactors ( who are they introduced? ) 
• Representation
• Locations 
• Costume
