DYM Homework Notes

A Comparison of Two Opening Sequences.

LEGALLY BLONDE:
- Woman brushes hair, gets ready, ECU's.
- VLS of woman cycling, plenty of WS so we can see scenery.
- Mainly character is extremely girly.
- Expect romance, comedy. 'homecoming queen' etc.
- Loads of group shots, expect it to be about students and school life.
- WS show perfect surroundings, expect a storyline that's very fun, not too intense.
- Plenty of buildup to main character, Elle. Lots of pink etc, comes accross as ditsy but well liked by her friends.
- Perhaps 'too perfect?' We expect something might disrupt this very soon.


SEVEN:
- Main character, male, black, 50's? Smartly dressed.
- Expect drama straightaway, thriller, low key lighting.
- MS, LS, WS, dingy surroundings visible.
- Plenty of slow zooms, build up tension.
- Expect crime based, ECU's of film strip, articles, evidence etc.
- Ordinary beginning, man getting up and getting dressed. Can tell he's a detective, ECU's of his possessions, very organised.
- Straight into storyline, "crime of passion." Blood etc visible.
- Det. Mills clearly introduces himself. Main focus on two very different characters. One is laid back, younger, less experienced (Pitt). Other is more alone, bitter. (Freeman)
- Expect movie to take place over seven days, the number seven will be a very important number. Day of week appears.
