Codes and Conventions of Film Openings

In a film opening the codes and conventions that you would expect would be technical codes this would be because they are mainly made on the computer with all of the subtitles rolling down the screen and all of the colours and movements are made by computerised technology.Some film openings use technical and symbolic codes .Symbolic codes are things like body language , objects , settings clothing and colour. Below i will post a link of a film opening which uses technical codes and symbolic codes.



This film opening has technical codes because of the edited writing  the way it appears on the screen when the clouds come.It is also symbolic because the colouring is black and white also because body language and props there is people , a train and horses.
The title is edited because it is a Fancy font .

This is a example of technical codes because of the title and its symbolic code because there is a person in the image what have body language and facial expressions.



The genre of this movie would be adventure because it is about cowboys and they are on horses and trains and they are running around in a deserted place just with loads of people
The conventions of this opening would be action because it is like something big is going on but we don't know what it is all of the people with guns , people on trains and horses make the opening build up tension so you want to watch the whole film.
The opening also makes us expect that something has gone wrong and people are escaping and some people are getting saved and they are saving a horse from the water Things you would expect to see in a film opening are titles , the main character , subtitles about the film.

In a film opening you would expect titles rolling down I have seen this in the Incredible Hulk.

This a piece of evidence to back up my point about the titles in the opening scene this is a image of the titles int the Incredible hulk.
