Film Openings

In this lesson we were watching film openings, the film we were watching was Good Fellether's,

This is an Action film,

The purpose of this opening sequence is it includes a car sound along with the opening credits to help set the scene This helps us tell it is a gangster film,
In the bagining there is a killing and blood and a small section of dialog tells us we are in New York in 1970.

The purpose achieved throught the media language is that there is alot of swearing, Raily Otter is the main charicter unlike Robot Denero who is a secondery charicter in the background, There is alot of Red and Black lighting to show that this is a gangster film and it is also a mafia fealling in the film (in the bagining of the film all three of the main charicters are bathed in blood to show that they are dangrouse men.
