/// FILM OPENING EG6 Hot Fuzz

• WT2 - pseudo indie - not indie but low budget
• Conventional first shot being outdoors but not in World's End
• Extreme Long-shot
• Straight cut - no fade in
• Rule of thirds - not concrete however light part is centered
• Giving some exposition
• Verisimilitude - props in mise-en-scene (folders)
• Sound of sirens giving exposition
• Doors opening alongside explosion sound effect (cuts sharply when doors open) - signifier of comedy
• Diegetic sound of doors opening - often exaggerated to create a larger effect
• Rushing character - connotes serious and taking job seriously - possibly central protagonist
• Junior company is represented by 'In association with'
• First cut using disguised cut (effective and something to think about for personal film opening)
• 31 seconds opening long take
• Exposition with close-up to focus on stern, serious expression
• comedic when badge comes out and shows exact same expression
• exaggerated walk links to comedy genre as well
• the long sustained note forces tension
• Camera is also tracking in
•
