This is the music video for Calvin Harris - Ready for the Weekend. I like this video because i like the way the camera moves through different objects to different scenarios. This video links with Snatch with the idea of going through objects. I think that this would be an effective title sequence if filmed correctly.

This is a link to Innerpartysystem - Don't Stop. I like this music video because i like the shots used, the quick editing and the fast pace. I think the quick editing could be used in the opening to a film, quick shots of inanimate objects and flashes could create a good horror/action/thriller opening.

This is the opening to Watchmen. I like the opening to this because everything is still and 3D like action figures but the camera flashes are very slow and different elements in the shot are moving e.g. a skirt. I think this is an effective opening, although i feel it would be too difficult to imitate.



This is an example of Stop Motion. I like this idea because i like the way you can do anything with it. I think that this could be used in a film opening but i'm not sure which genre it would fit. I don't think it would suit Horror or Action because it's too upbeat for those genres.

This is the video to Kids in Glass Houses song Give Me What I Want, this video reminds me of the opening to snatch because of the way the camera goes through the wall into the next shot. I think this idea could be an easy way to link the characters together but it would be a hard thing to film due to the wall being cut away effect.




These are two videos by Hadouken!. I like these beginnings because they don't give anything away for the rest of the video. Turn The Lights Out is good becuase i like the colours and the quick changes to different objects. I also like the colours in Wait For You because they're very neutral and plain.

This is the music video for Billy Talents song Surrender from their album Billy Talent II. I really like this video because of it's simplicity in it's setting, i think this would work well in a film opening because complexity will be hard to find and i like the range of shots. I like the way that everything is out of focus unless it's right in front of the camera which Ben Kowalewicz seems to be throughout most of the video. I also like the shots of seemingly innocent objects at the beginning of the video in tact and then breaking and smashing during the song. I also this it's effective the way that holes appear in the walls and let light into the room, it also seems like the room is falling down around the band.

This is Saving Aimee - We're The Good Guys music video. I like the initial layout of this video and the way it zooms in and out of different sections of the giant picture. I like the use of block colours and a white background because i think this makes everything stand out more. I also like the game of PONG played by two of the band members, i think this makes the video look more interesting, i like the way they have incorporated themselves into the game. I also like the idea of putting each different band member in a section of the screen at the same time, i think this idea could be a good way of making titles and introducing characters in a film opening. I also think the ending of the video where the action is stopped as the band is in mid-air is clever because it's a good way to end, in a film this could be the characters walking into the distance or something.

This is the opening credits to Se7en. I like the jumpy shots and the hectic feel of this video because it gives you a feel for the rest. I also like the way the camera focuses on the pages turning and a mans hands with plasters, this makes the audience wonder what's going to happen, i also like the way the writing jumps around with the shots.



This is the opening to the film Snatch, Reece found this and likes the way the camera moves locations smoothly and the way the characters were introduced. I also like this and we will consider this style when making our film. The music video to All Time Low - Weightless is similar the way the writing comes up by the characters, but personally, i prefer the way that the producer of this music video has made the writing continue with the action.
