Film Opening credits

 Credit scenes are very important in a movie and it can really have an affect on the audience. I reviewed three credit scenes from action movies. 

The first one was Spectre (James Bond), the credit sequence came after the opening action scene. The action scene was fast and thrilling but the credits were slow and entertaining. The theme song of James Bond is used and a lot of images of skulls. The images and slowness of the credit sequence are all trying to match the theme of the movie which is mystery, action and mostly spy life. The music is dramatic and the credit scene is made to build tension and get the audience attracted to the movie. These types of credit scenes are very common in action movies that are based on spies and secret organizations like MI6. Personally as a big fan of the movie spectre, the credit scene gives a hint of what the movie will be about and how the story will play out. I realized this after watching the movie that the credit scene was trying to give us a hint. 

The second one I reviewed was a similar franchise movie, Mission Impossible Fallout. In this movie the credit scene was also shown after the opening action scene. The opening credits in this one was fast and entertaining, there was the theme song of Mission Impossible, photos of explosions, guns, and characters. The speed of this credit scene keeps the fans entertained and eager to watch the movie, it keeps the audience on the edge of their seats. This sequence also tells you that the movie is an action movie because of all the photos of the weapons and other things. This credit sequence is another great sequence that keeps fans hooked. 

The Dark Knight does not focus too much on the opening credit scene. This movie focuses more on the action in the opening scene which was the Bank Heist scene. The title appears for a short time with a dark blue fire type of effect. This credit scene lets the audience get to what they want to watch fast and they keep the speed of the movie fast as well. The dark colors show that the movie will be action but with crime and criminals. This approach is different because it hooks the audience instantly, usually the credits slow down the movie a bit but this approach keeps them on the edge of their seats.
