In this student film opening sequence we know that the film is an Action/Thriller (a hybrid). This is because we see generic convection's which can be linked to both action and thriller. Examples of these generic convection's are the on-going chase and the gun. Other more suttle convection's include the men in suits which can be loosely linked to the Mafia or 'Mob'.
Many fast cuts are used. This is something which we expect to see in an Action/Thriller films as fast cuts are always used in high adrenaline scenes in Thriller/Action movies.
In this opening sequence a variety of different camera angles are used. This is a good thing as it keeps the audience engaged in the action on screen.
The soundtrack is integrated perfectly with the on-screen action. It starts of calm when nothing serious is going down. Then when the antagonists appear the soundtrack picks up a notch, this allerts us that something is going to happen. And then when the antagonists and protagonists make eye contact the music picks up dramaticly. This connotes that something big is happening/ is going to happen.
In this opening sequence we see that the antagonists are wearing suits. This connotes that these antagonists are part of a specialized organisation, hence where i got my earlier 'Mafia' link from. We also see that the teenage protagonist is wearing casual clothing connoting to him just being a mischievous teenager
In this film we know that there is one teenage male protagonist and two adult male antagonists. We know this because these are characters we see when watching this student film opening.
In this student film the titles are integrated with the onscreen action fantastically to the point where they don't impose themselves onscreen but are still noticeable and clear. Also the titles are correctly placed in terms of the way which they're are ordered.
