Children Of Men

The opening of 'Children Of men' doesn't start of with one main character. the shot carries a diegetic sound of a news report while showing a group of people listening. the diegetic sound gives of suspense and gives of an unpleasant atmosphere. the cameras looks shaken at the beginning but then smooth's out giving us a middle shot showing us enough of the coffee shop or café that there in. the shot gives enough to show that the people look distressed and depressed. this is also portrayed by the clothes everyone is wearing as they are very dull clothes'  like black and grey.

The shot then starts to focus on a man walking in to the café casually pushing past everyone to collect his coffee or tea. the man does look up at the television screen but puts in no emotion towards it. this makes the audience focus more on him. the camera then follows the man out as if it was person following him.

The angle of the camera shows us the location with text appearing on  the screen telling us there in London in the year 2027. we get a taste of London from the denotation of the red buses and police men on the street. The weather being grey produces the same atmosphere as inside the café, as well as portraying the typical English weather. they have promoted the year by having ' moving advertisements around London i.e.. on the buses.
the medium shot becomes a long shot still focusing on the actor. he then adds alcohol in to his tea/coffee. this could show us that he's an unhappy person and relies on alcohol to help him start his day. during this shot the camera focuses on the scene at the back. The camera spins around the man, which then ends up focusing on the point where the explosion then happens. at this moment the camera shakes with the explosion again making it seem like a person.

Openings. Three Colours Blue

The opening for Three Colours Blue was really dramatic and instantly caught the audiences attention. it started of with a little girl looking out the window of her family car. She looked really bored and from her facial expression it seemed as if she would rather be any where else. the scene continues without any dialogue showing the viewers the busy road at night. It seem as if they were returning from a family trip.  in this shot you can jus hear cars passing and can see the lights in the tunnels going pass as if you were in the car itself. the next shot shows that the family did stop then the shot quickly changes to a leaking pipe in the car. this gives of a sense of foreshadowing, letting the audience know that something devastating's going to happen. it also creates suspense as the next shot takes it away from the car and focuses on a boy waiting in a field. he looks in to the distance putting his hand out for a ride but gets rejected. this scene was quite and focused more on the boys face and the sounds from the ball in the cup game. the way the next scene come to be is when the boy finally gets the ball in the cup at the same exact time as the car crashes in the tree. you hear a loud crash then see the car smacked in to the tree. there's smoke coming out from he car and a beach ball bounces out from the car. the next scene shows the boy running towards the cars full speed and you can tell he's quite scared  as he doesn't know what to do . the shot shows a long shot, showing the whole scenery, with the crash and boy the centre of the screen. the next shot starts of with heavy breathing and crying. in this shot they have some speech and we find out that the little girl at the begging dies in the crash.
