Analysing opening sequences

1) Halloween 1963 
The opening sequence is generally spooky and shifty. We instantly know that the camera is representing the view of the character who we soon find out is the killer. It is set in a suburban area in a large house at night time this adds to the atmosphere as we usually associate large houses as creepy as they are usually empty. The camera movement is generally handheld and shaky this shows that

2) Juno 
The movie is aimed at teenagers as the main characters are teenagers and they instantly deal with 'teenage issues’ that are relationships. It starts off outside her house in the afternoon with an establishing shot then to a master shot then a close up of her facial expression and her reminiscing about the past and we see a flash back then her again outside her house then the sequence goes into a cartoon which is more appealing to teens then any other audience as she walks through the streets in we get a small sense of her personality and what she likes because we see different shops and certain places that she passes through. The music in the background is acoustic and uses a harmonica, which could suggest that it may be a little bit country; the lyrics also could be seen to be associated with her situation. 

3) The Fast And The Furious 

Firstly we see the universal logo then we see a reflection of a crate in the logo, which looks metallic, and a brownish goldish colour which could symbolise rust of the cars or it being expensive and co- ordinates with the current background of the scene against the blue and the colour of the crate, which is a similar colour.

We then see the crate being attached to the truck, we are then shown the inside of the truck with all the expensive Panasonic equipment this is an important scene for the audience because we are given an insight into what is going on and it is important information for later. 

Then we follow a character on the phone as he confirms that the truck has been sealed and where it is going, we then cut to the night and see the same truck and 3 of the same car drive by with green lights underneath and we hear the enhanced zoom sound to make them sound faster. 

The characters are all dressed in black suits with motorcycle helmets on the costume can symbolise that the characters are shifty and it is clear to the sudience of there intentions because there heads are covered an this usually means that they are trying to hide something 

Later We see an establishing shot of the city. We mainly see men and vehicles which makes it more appealing to men therefore making the move generally aimed at men £
