FO Review: The Fall

This film opening, I think, is amazing.  It is evident that lots of effort has been put into this title sequence and the results show this. Though this is a professional film piece, I think that this would be a great inspiration for our film opening as it leaves the audience in awe.
The opening is in slow motion which really highlights the emotion in each person's expression and not only does it capture the audience, it forces the audience to feel these emotions too. The use of this slow motion means nothing too important is revealed straight away, intriguing the audience to watch more. It is clear that the title placement has been carefully thought about and the hat movement to wipe away the title was very effective as it creates a feel of wonder. As the film opening goes on, more characters appear and objects begin to appear from in the river, presenting immense confusion in the audience which I think is the best emotion to give the audience at the start of the film because it captures their need for clarification and gets them to continue watching the rest of the film. 
One my favourite parts of this opening is the black and white smoke that is emitted from the train, possibly foreshadowing a conflict which gripped me into wanting to watch more. 
Overall, this film opening was very successful in its purpose to capture the audience into watching more as I went away from this to watch the whole film which continued its high standard. I think this inspiration would be great to incorporate into my film opening by possibly slow motioning Zoe's close up shots to emphasise the emotion she's portraying.
