The children’s film opening sequence I am going to analyse is ‘Over the Hedge’ which is BBFC rating U and the target audience is children. In analysing the opening sequence I will be able to look at how this children’s film opening is like and to look for ideas that could possible be incorporated into my own opening of a children’s film.
The film starts with an animals hand trying to reach for some crisps. This gives the audience a clue about what the film is about. The themes of this film is about the suburbs and human life.
This film is a childrens film and starts with happy background music. Then as the title of the film comes in when the music changes and makes the audience really concentrate on the titles as the music changes and the audience wont expect it.
The films title has been incorporated into the film itself making the film interesting and so the audience can really associate the title with the rest of the film.
In the opening sequence the main character is introduced first. He is introduced first so the audience can tell that these characters are the most important characters in the film. In my childrens film opening sequence I will also introduce the main charaters first like they did in 'Over the Hedge'
The dialogue also gives clues to the rest of the film. The bear character says 'enough isn't enough' this links in with one of the themes of the film which is about the consumption of food in america. When the bear says this the audience are given clues about what the film is about.
This film is an animation so all the sound is non dietetic and all put on when the film when it is being edited. My opening sequence wont be animated but might have sound effects to put emphasis on certain parts of the sequence.
The target audience of the film is children so the comedy in the film is simple so that children understand it and it is funny to them to. In the opening sequence I will make I will also put in things that may be funny for children.
