A.I analysis

In this film opening of the movie Artificial intelligence, it discuss the creation of a child robot who can be loved by it's parent figure's and it can love them back. this opening does not show a=who the film cast or producers are. It's does show the title of this film by a merging two words together to form one word: A.I.
This film gives an introduction to a couple of characters:
The female robot which is introduced by the stabbing of the hand to show that the robots do have feeling as well as her face being removed in show how the robots looks without the skin grafting.
The scientist that gives out ideas to the other scientists about the new type of robot.
The family who comes to visit their cryogenicly frozen child who "passed away" five years ago.
Is does not give much of an induction of place the film will set in as they character move into different place through out the opening sequence. It is set in the future where the polar ice caps have melted and flood ll the coast lines around the world and he men limitations have had to be put on anything that uses up resources. The film start with a somber tone of the death of people from less developed country's and the destruction of coastal city's and later in the sequence when the characters visit the dead son the somber tone continues there are also moral issue raised with the discussion of weather robots should be able to love. The opening reveals the genre as science fiction from the start as they are talking about robots and ideas in how to improve them.

Our Robot Moodboard

The pictures shown are related to our film opening. I have mainly chosen pictures of robots, computers and electrical devices. Although you will not be able to see the robot in our film opening because its in a first person view of the robot. Also the pictures of the computers and computer scientists are there because those are the kind of things you will see when the robot activates.

Analysis of compaerable openings

Wall-E does have many of the different conventions of an opening sequence, at the end of the sequence the title of the film, Wall-E, is overlaid to take up most of the screen it also introduces you to the main character who is a robot called Wall-E this also give a Strong impression that most if not all of the other characters will also be robots.
It also set the tone of the movie by having the sober tones of an abandoned earth yet also with the light hearted comedic tones of Wall-E having befriended a small insect, probably a cockroach. By using these tones it help to set the genre of a comedy for younger audiences and it sets up questions for the rest of the film like where has everybody gone?
besides this it also missed out some key components of an opening sequence as it does not have any of the cast and crews names also it does not give much of a clue to the time period but it does suggest that it is in the future and the it also does not have a signature theme tune like most movies but it does have a sound bit of Wall-E saying his name.
