This is a storyline plan for the opening of this film. On here I have written down when the different titles came on screen, actors, and the rest of the visuals. When context was introduced, parts that created enigma and anything to do with sound or soundtracks.
Here is a rough break down of the opening:
- In the opening of this film it begins with an old version of the Universal logo. The old version may have been used to create context and give us an insight to the time period it was set in and that it is based on a historical event. This lasts from 3-12 seconds and is placed on a black screen with no sound.
- The Weinstein logo then appeared from 12-20 seconds and has the same features.
- The soundtrack then begins to play at 20s and is a traditional piece of music for that time period and therefore it set the context.
- At 24s the production company titles begin and last for 12s
- At 36s the directors name appears
- At 40s the film title appears which is in a different type face and colour which informs us that this is the film
- The names of the actor then appear in the order that they appear most- starting with Brad Pitt. There are 8 starring actors followed by co-starring actors and then guest starring. Lasts for 1 minute.
- At 1:48 the soundtrack is still playing and the titles for chapters appear- forms context. 'Nazi occupied France' at 1:53 and '1941' at 2:03
- At 2 minutes the soundtrack fades and then stops.
- At 2:03 the characters are introduced through a wide shot of a man- this also sets the scene.
- A chopping sound is then heard
- The woman character comes into shot at 2:14
- At 2:17 the sound of an unseen vehicle comes in which creates enigma
We stopped watching the clip at this point.
In this opening I liked the way that they introduced context from the very beginning in the Universal logo and continued it to the point that we stopped watching.
