American Splendor is an American biographical comedy-drama film about Harvey Pekar who is the author of the American Splendor comic book series. Above is the timeline that I drew out for the first 1 minute and 8 seconds.
My favourite part of this opening is the way that the director inbuilt context right from the start, when the text is travelling along the paper and then the comic pages. This allows you to understand what the film is going to be based upon and get a basic understanding of it.
I don't like the way the screen lattices to black at 0:34, before the actors names appear on screen.
