Analyzing 3 Film openings

 Welcome back to my blog, everyone! today I will be analyzing three action movie film openings to see what I can learn for my film opening.

    The Fugitive (1993)

The opening immediately sets the standard for the movie. Since, the beginning, Dr. Richard Kimble is presented is going to be hunted down while trying to provide justice to his wife, who was murdered. Kimble is being transported by a prison bus, when the bus crashes. He sees an opportunity and escapes. I like how this scene introduces the idea of a manhunt to the audience. I could use this in my film opening.

                                 The Bourne Identity (2002)

In this opening, the main character is introduced by showing some fishermen finding his body in the middle of the sea. This introduces Bourne in a way that leaves viewers curious about him. For example, I asked myself: "How did he get there". I love how the character is introduced, but stays mysterious. I should definitely use this in my film opening.

 

John Wick Chapter 2 (2017)

This film opening shows an unknown character taking out a few people before revealing him. I like how this contributes to the character's identity by showing him as mysterious and strong. I liked this sort of idea, but I could change it up a little. If I could do the same, but without showing the fighting, I think that could really fit my film opening.
