Opening Sequences

Scott Pilgrim Versus The World- An excellent, in my opinion, opening. The introduction sets the film up nicely for the laid back dialogue and snide comments to follow throughout the rest of the film. The intro utilises a song from the films' band, adding to the authenticity and realism and an excellent way to accompany the credits. Basic information is founded, Scott's age, job and location is revealed. The character Knives is easily relate-able to the audience, as we are practically in the same position of her. I find this technique very effective. 

Lord of War- This animated opening is set from a point of view of a bullet being constructed and then transported. On print, the idea sounds rather bland, yet in moving picture it works fantastically setting up themes that may be carried out later on in the film, such as the references to Soviets and African rebellious armies.
