Resident Evil (Horror) Film Opening
Full Opening Scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zuDZrySShA
The opening scene starts with non-diegetic sound that is eerie yet modern. The backstory to the film is explained at this point. In the background, the screen is similar to a computer terminal, which hints at laboratory and office setting that is later shown in the opening.
Following this the music sounds clinical and the camera zooms in to someone working in a lab, which is a stereotypical for the resident evil franchise and the modern setting could also be reminiscent of the Nostromo ship from the first Alien film,moving vials of fluid into a case, these vials being relevant to the rest of the film.
There is more focus with close ups and focus pulls on the blue vial, which is the T-virus, as this is the virus responsible for what happens later in the film.
The close up on the case the virus' or in locking suggests the danger that they have.
The opning ends with the man who was wearing the hazard suit throwing a vial of the T-virus so it breaks, this being the final part of the scene needed to set up the events of the film.
As I have watched this film, I know that the opening scene is actually setting up all the events for the film and provides and introduction to the whole backstory. My opening scene is intended to be similar to this, in the way that it is setting up the events of the film and providing a backstory. (Had it been a full film, the rest of it would be set further into the future, about a year after the opening).
