Boogie Nights.
As the movie 'Boogie Night' starts off, we are opened to view a black screen with no image, with dull music. This is done to grab our attention and to also cause tension. As we wait in suspence we are then hit with a LOUD very cathcy music as the lights come on with an imagie in bold pink 'boogie night' on a big banner, to grab out attention, straight away we are taken into their world of a diso night out as the camara starts to twirl and we then see another banner in lights 'RESEDA' wriiten in a cool blue, assuming that 'reseda' is a night club, and the cool blue implying the night is still young/cool/relax then the camara twirls back and then we see its surrounding and we are taken back to the 70's. As we see everythings taken in one shot simplyfying that its one night, one shot to get down and boogie. So from the opening scene we know that the movie is surroded by a life dance.
One Day
We see the title 'One Day' written in a white background, as that goes, we then hear traffic but no imagie of the traffic which symbloise its just an ordinary day in the urban city. We are opened to a birds view of a busy junction showing us the setting is in an urban area, the storyline is interlinked. The traffic now stops annd then the music changes more intensea as the camara rotates, we see the titles come together then shatters then we see a landscape of the whole city and from here we know that the film is set in the city. Then the camara moves toward a partical part of the city, changes to another part of the city and continues to do this to show that the film is happening in different parts of the city. Then we are brought into a part of the city as we see a group of boys dressed in black to indicate trouble, as they sit on the wall of houses, we then see a meduim shot of the boys and see that they are not only dressed in black, but are also wearing yellow bandanna's showing that the movie is revoling around gangs, we are then drawn into a cut away shot of two boys loading a gun, to creat tention and also keep are attention, straight away giving us the genre of the film has to do with gun crime and gangs and post code wars as another cut away shot comes in as we see the post sign 'Old Street E2'.
