Twilight Opening Scene Analysis


The opening scene is of a dear, this confusing the audience as we don't understand what is actually going on. Also it does not match the non digect sound of the voice over done by the main character. This is something we would like re incorporate into our own production. The scene ends with the dear being caught by what looks like a human and a fade to white and cuts to a pan down hot from the sun tote protagonist. This again is a shot we were thinking to add into our production however our beginning would be from the flames of the fire to the sun.
By having a scene which would make no sense to the audience at the beginning of the production it straight captures the audiences attention and makes them feel uncomfortable because of the uncertainty.
The quick cut shots create intensity and confuses the audience complete as it doesn't make sense. It is an unusual way of starting a film thus capturing interest right away.

It does not give the plot away or that Edward Cullen is a Vampire, something we would not want to make obvious to the audience in the opening scene to our movie.  How it is hinted as the capturing of the dear. Also the camera angle and shot is a point of view shot at the beginning as we see the dear. This makes the audience feels as if they are in the shoes of the "predictor" and gives a slightly scary tone to the film. it is then switched to a long shot of Edward capturing the dear.

Towards the end we are finally introduce to Bella and this calms the audience down as we realize who is talking, who the voice over is and as it is a female introduced the audience will more likely be able to relate to her.
