RS: Film Openings - Research

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (Fincher 2011)

• The opening of the clip is a black screen with intense, attention grabbing music. The visuals of the clip gradually come in with a flashing technique in time to the bass of the music. When experiencing this technique it made me want to pay attention and keep watching, it therefore would be a technique I would like to use in my opening sequence.
• The clip also shows computer equipment coming to life through the use of CGI, I would not be able to use this in my opening sequence but I do like this effect.
• The entire clip is filmed in the same theme, which is black paint or oil, which makes the the clip look unique. Fire is the only bright image seen in the clip which relates to the title of the film and creates a sudden sense of action and power in the clip.
• The clip is also restricted in content, the audience does not know exactly what the film will contain but keeps the audience intrested.
