I have found three film opening that will relate to mine in the Action genre
Black Widow 2021
The Fast and the Furious 2001
Rush 2013
First off, Black Widow opening is the style I am being inspired by. They base the opening off of Natasha's childhood with the use of the song "Smells like teen spirit" by Nirvana and use of other footage that relates to things little girls like. Now for the the actual filming...Use of a dark filming location at the shipping containers creates a very eerie vibe. Along with that, the soldiers coming for the kids forcing them to come with them add on to the intense eerie vibe. Now my opening of course will not be as dark and crazy as this but I like the editing style used.
The Fast and the Furious opening scene relates to the theme I want to use in my film opening. They use this scene to foreshadow the protagonist of the movie and what they do to obtain their illegal car parts. Besides that, I love the theme used of modified cars in the night, racing down the highway. They choice of cars made this scene more "relatable" as these are cars that are typically modified on the road. For my film opening, I will capture scenes of modified cars and what the racing aspect part is like (Of course on a closed track) as that mixed with Black Widow opening scene style will be great.
Rush is a formula one film based off the 1976 season where two drivers push each other to the limits. This opening scene foreshadows the tragic moments before Niki Lauda's major accident that left him hospitalized. Personally, I love the style and camera work used in this film. In my opening scene I want to have a racing portion and use the style shots that this movie used. It captures the intensity of being on grid and when the race begins which I think fits perfect for what I am trying to accomplish.
