Opening Sequence- Twlight

Camera movements
  • Establishing shot of the forest- establishes the whole setting which is important to this film and we also focus on the animal-grabbing our attention
  • POV (Point Of View)- running after the deer, the camera shots change really quieckly and we gets a sense of pace and action, gripping us right from the start but also inclusing us as we feel as though we are chasing after it. 
  • Continuity editing shots smoothly cut one shot to another to create a sense of fluidity which makes the action more realistic. The fast shots also go well with the fantasy genre which creates an exciting feeling.
  • Tracking of the deer running along the forest we are able to follow it allong closely but the blurring action in the background highlights the speed at which its going.
  • Close-up shots to see the character's facial expressions, escpecially as Kristen Stewart is narrating at the beginning we follow her expression as she narrates.
  • Air view shot with the title credits which show us the whole of the setting which is important to the movie. We gain insight of what the place is like which appears extremly cold- effective because it echoes the vampires and one of their many qualities is being cold, sparkling ice creatures.
Mis-En-Scene
  • The make-up of the main character is very limited and neutral to create a sense that she is a normal, ordinary girl. This is also important for us to see the contrast from her and Edward Cullen, who is a vampire. 
Setting
  • A lot of green scenary and wildness which contemplates well with what the stroy is about and the use of vampires.This can be effective because it goes well with the ramntic and fantasy genre of the twilight series. 
Music
  • The music at the title credits is relaxing which creates a warm feeling to the openness of the movie and makes us feel relaxed. This is also good for the type of genre of the movie as they are important qualities.
