First Opening Sequence (Inception) :
In this opening sequence one of the main factors that is established is that there is going to be scenes of action in the film. The producers have made the opening sequence to entice the viewer into the film without revealing to much of the plot. For example we already know who the main characters are going to be by how much they are focused on and also we know that it is going to be based around a dream context.
Second Opening Sequence (The Dark Knight) :
In this opening sequence the producers do not fully establish who the characters are going to be in the film however they provide the viewer with a idea as to what the film is going to be based upon. In this case i can presume as a viewer that the film is going to be based around crime as this is what the main focus of the opening sequence is however the producers have left me wondering who this mysterious 'Joker' character is. This leaves me wanting to find out and therefore draws the audience into the plot of the film.
Opening Sequence 3 (Children Of Men) :
From this opening sequence the producers establish when the film is set which is in 2027. Also by focusing on the man who buys the coffee they establish who the protagonist is going to be from the beginning. The bomb exploding gives us an idea of how the world has deteriorated in the future. I find that the news story provides us with a slight insight into the plot without revealing too much. It does this by showing the headline as saying the youngest person in the world has died. This leaves us curious as to why this is as the youngest person was 18 years old. In some ways this can be interpreted as a narrative hook. By using natural light and cool tones the producers have managed to create a darker mood in this opening sequence.
