Opening Sequences

'Traveller'
The opening sequence for 'Traveller' lack enough credits or titles, making it feel less like a films opening sequence; they had the production title but about one only other credit, therefore there were not enough titles. The music helped to set the scene, suiting the situation and the mise-en-scene helping to set the scene, however when it came to dialogue the sound was poor  and it was quite difficult to understand what they were saying. The camera wasn't focused on the scene, for example when the man was running and the camera dropped to the floor, although this helped to show he was running, it seemed a bit jolty and a bit amateurish. The story was also quite hard to follow and I didn't really understand what was going on throughout the opening sequence; the camera was out focus with a blurred screen which made it seem that there was a distorted feel to the clip, making the character seem out of sync and the clip had a hash feel about it. The acting didn't help to portray what they were trying to do as it was not particularly good and was quite hard to follow.    

Twin Town
The opening sequence of 'Twin Town' gives a very happy feel about the film. Firstly it opens up on a car driving  recklessly, it then changes to a contrasting opening town, with happy music and showing the quirky individuals of the tow waving directly at the camera making you feel part of the film.
