The Final Destination - Opening Sequence
Cinematography:
Throughout the opening sequence there is a variety of camera angles/shots used to draw in the viewer. There is a lot of use of a high angle shot, and this shows that the audience has less power against whatever is in the film. Also, close ups are used throughout maybe to get the viewer to question what is happening and why, and the use of the close up doesn't give away much making the viewer ask questions.
Mise-en-scene:
Within this opening sequence there is no use of costume, make-up or props showing that the scene is not yet set. Although the composition within the frame is amazing due to the opening sequence presenting X-rays of skeletons, showing that something sinister is going to happen in the film. The use of the x-rays makes this opening sequence very different from others as it's very creepy and doesn't give away what the film is about at the beginning making the viewer have to it to find out.
Editing:
In his opening sequence its just animation, but the animation is very technical and the editing is very good as many of the objects are flown in and faded out to maybe show the creepiness of the opening. The type of editing is continuity as it shows the deaths from the other 'Final Destinations' but they are shown in orders of the movie, and this is put in the opening sequence because it might be showing a build up to the the final movie.
Sound:
Constantly, throughout the opening sequence there is music from a soundtrack, and the genre of music is rock, it's loud and chaotic, maybe suggesting to the viewer that this film is going to be crazy and that lots of things will happen.
