CAPTIVE - AS MEDIA OPENING
The opening of this film starts of with an establishing shot of the main character tied up, which immediately links it to the title 'CAPTIVE'.
Throughout the opening there is digetic sounds which are of the main character breathing heavily and the sound of water dripping. The use of these digetic sounds adds tension to the opening. There is also the use of non-digetic sounds which are of a high pitched string instrument, once again adding to the tension of the opening.
The film uses a range of shots, but close ups are the most used. The use of the close ups used within the fast paced editing draws the audience in to find out more. They also create suspense as to what has happened to the main character.
From watching this film, it is clear that a lot of money and time has been put in to produce this film to make it as real as possible.
EXCEMPTION - AS MEDIA OPENING
The opening of this film consists of a montage of shots of E.C.U, P.O.V and C.U. These are all shown with the digetic sound of a boy/boys breathing heavily, which suggests that something has happened and they are in fear. The shots used are very shaky, which links into the heavy breathing which is also shaky.
The beginning of the film is very slow and the story line is not very clear. They then use fast paced editing when they two main characters run away from their supposed kidnapper after stabbing him in the leg with a pen. I think where they placed their fast paced editing was a good choice as it ties in them running away. It also creates tension and draws in the audience to want to know if they get away or not.
