This film opening taken from Miss Fosters blog which was taken from Petes blog is great! The panning at the beginning is smooth and reveals all the necessary things about the character, a good establishing shot without actually being an establishing shot. I didn't like the music at the beginning but I thought the sounds effects of the bombs in the background were great! Starting off very subtle and getting louder and louder. The Churchill speech was also a great touch.
The two minute film opening seemed very professional due to the sound effects, camera movement, lighting and also the simplicity of the credits. The darkened lighting towards the end also added to the quality of the opening as the torch lead the eye to see what the character was seeing. The emphasis on the small toy that landed was effective in showing that a child once stayed here and also creates a spooky atmosphere-as any toy clown would. Overall a very good opening but I do think the film could have done without the '60 years later' title. Also really like the echo of the laughter at the end, although it could be seen as an ending to the two minute opening..perhaps..maybe.
