The Dark Knight Rises
The beginning of the film starts off with the company and production logos. 
The music is incidental which creates a mysterious and spooky atmosphere. Ice breaking, batman sign coming out of the ice, coming back to life/from the dead.  
Sound bridge, heard the voice before the actual scene fade to black which signals the end of one chapter to another, the end of batman's last mission and now a new story is beginning.Director, film crew and film name are not mentioned because Christopher Nolan wants to challenge the codes of title sequence and because the film is that well known Christopher Nolan didn't feel the need to include it. Low angle shot of the man front the CIA (an American version of MI6)3 men wearing black hoods, the black is associated withe evilness, power and mystery. The hoods are used to cover the men's identity. Since 2000 hoods had received a negative image by been seen as trouble making. The young man who has the un-groomed, eastern European gangster look which re enforces the negative trouble maker look. The incidental music as the hooded men and the young man are on scene creates the feeling of tension, as the music builds the tension and action on screen builds with it. An Aeriel shot as the plane flies though the mountains indicates to the audience how deserted they are. The Aeriel shot is one of Christopher Nolan signature filming techniques. The 3 hooded men are positioned on the floor of the aeroplane in the next shot, the CIA man standing above them the high angle shot gives the impression the hooded men are now powerless and gives the man from the CIA more power and control. The non-diegetic voice coming from Bane is layered and edited with puts more emphasis on the mask and makes his voice sound inhuman like. On the removal of the hood, the camera is positioned as a low angle shot so that is now Bane looks like he is now in power slightly and more dominance over the man from the CIA. The extreme shot, reestablishes the shot. The diagetic sound of the drums creates momentum.

Halloween 1978

 

Halloween is a 1978 American independent horror film set in the fictional suburban town of Haddonfield, USA on Halloween a psychotic murderer institutionalized since childhood escapes on a mindless rampage while his doctor chases him through the streets. Halloween was produced on a budget of $320,000 and grossed $47 million at the box office in the United States equivalent to over $150 million as of 2008 becoming one of the most profitable independent films of all time. Many critics credit the film as the first in a long time of slash(1960) The movie originated many clichés found In low-budget horror films of the 80’s and 90’s. However, the film contains little graphic violence and gore.

The film starts with the opening title sequence the logos are in red text on a black background. The red representing blood and black as death. The colour changes from red to yellow to red to represent fire which represents pain and death, a flame could represent a pumpkin. Zooming in of the pumpkin, the camera moves closer towards the camera which makes us draw more attention onto it. The pumpin is used as it is one of the most recognisable symbols for halloween. Flickering of the flame inside the pumpkin and the dramatic music is done to add emphasis. The directors name is on the last frame of the opening title sequence with the rest of the production and cast name. The sound bridge of children voice sounds like a chant. Pan extreme long shot of a white house, the white makes the house look normal with normal people living there, white represents purity. The normally makes the story even more scarier because its not set in a horror house or mantion but somewhere where the audience would live. The hand held zoom onto the house gives the impression someone is creeping towards the house, and its what they can see. The faint image of the people behind the blinds gives the audience the impression they will be the target. The lights that turn off indicates something is sure to happen. In dark represents horror/evilness and death. If something was to happen in the light it wouldnt have as much emphasis as it does in the darkness. The sudden sound when the lights turns out adds emphasis to the lights been turned out it also forshadows that something happening in that room. The constant one tone sound makes the audience feel uncomfortable, then the piano sound ontop of that adds more drama and the sense that whatever is going to happen is happening soon. The knife is taken out of the draw and the blade is made obious to the camera, this makes it obvious that this type of weapson is more than likey to be used in the film. There is the diegetic sound of a clock chiming in the background, this suggest that time running out for the girl.
