I recently watched a variety of film openings to decide on which Genre I should base my own film on.
The first film I analysed was Blade (1998). This film is clearly set out as an action movie to the audience; however there is an apparent aspect of horror. The opening of the film introduces vampires which are key in the films narrative. Since vampires are usually associated with horror movies, the audience believe that the film will be related to the horror genre. The faced paced editing creates action which relates it to the action Genre. When it rains blood, we immediatly think horror as we relate blood with horror films. Throughout the scene, low key editting creates darkness, building on the horror Genre. The titles of the film are in red, the colour of which connotes blood and death, linking the film to the horror genre.
