How “The Dark Knight Rises” follows the conventions of film openings
Firstly it includes production company, directors as well as cast/stars which essential for all film opening. These appeared in black and white and red (bold font) which are significant colours for a thriller film. They cut into the opening sequence however it was more added or part of the sequence itself which made it more interesting. Secondly they have chosen a more action packed opening as Batman is a more action/thriller. The build up of action was through fast cuts and transitions from one shot to another. It didn’t reveal a lot but at the same time got audience thinking though the constant use of props and imagery (similar to ‘Seven`) which is a key feature of a thriller, as you shouldn’t give away too much of the plot. The lighting used was dark and this made it more mysterious and kept audiences in suspense. The background music used, consisted of fast tempo violin and loud crashes which made the whole atmosphere triggering.
