An Analysis Of A film Opening In My Chosen Genre

Inception (2010)

Genre:
This film's genre is a Science fiction/thriller. From the photo underneath, we can see that there is a  mysterious feeling when we see the waves slamming against the stones. This connotes to the film's classification on the grounds that you would regularly hope to feel anticipation and pressure when the group of audience do not recognise what will occur next.

Narrative:

When we at first observe the hero in the start of the film opening, clearly he is ignorant of his area and he turns upward to get an impression of where he is. In the wake of attempting to get a feeling of where he was, he loses awareness and falls asleep while lying on the ocean shore.

Character:

There is a low angle shot of what resembles a beach police officer who is equipped with a shotgun. This means he has high  dominance and higher power as it would appear that he is going to shoot the man who is laying level on the shore close to the ocean.

Atmosphere:

This film opening has a very tense atmosphere which is depicted through the fierce, smashing waves along the shore and when the male police-like character approaches the ignorant man lying on the sandy shore.

Themes:

Not only are they betrayed by one another but they're even betrayed by themselves when their subconsciousness take on a life of their own. Cobb is dealing with a phenomenal amount of guilt. In his mind—and it's his mind that sets forth a lot of the action in Inception—he effectively killed his wife and brought a parentless world upon his children.

Setting:

At the beginning of the sequence the first shot we see is a close up of the waves crashing. This highlights that the area is rough and dangerous and nobody should enter the waters. The waves are flowing along with the foam splashing into the air and the brown rocks also displayed in the background. It also has an impact on the audience which makes them feel scared, thinking someone is hurt.

Sound:

There is wave sound that adds audio depth to the scene, and shows nothing but the waves. The waves are very tranquil and calming, perhaps hinting towards the calm before the storm that will come later in the scene. However, the music conveys a sound of wind mix in with instruments creating quite a suspicious atmosphere as well as confusion to whats going on.
