Inspirational Opening Sequences

Opening sequence of films

Step Brothers - After the original credits where it lists the main creators of the film and the directors, it begins on a close of the main characters hand (Will Ferrell) spreading cheese on top of his nachos and then putting them in the microwave, this gives a sort of humorous tone as this is not a typical breakfast that a normal person would implying that these are not normal characters. In then goes into a shot of Will Ferrell’s face looking out from the microwave and his acting credit comes up in the bottom left. It also introduces the next character, which is John C.Reiley, who in the scene is getting dressed. This shows both of the main characters morning routines to show what’s normal in their every day life as later on it changes drastically. After this it begins to show how both their respecting parents had met and them getting married so soon afterwards whilst the credits are still rolling to show just how sudden this change in their lives was and finally gives their reaction towards this sudden marriage and neither character are happy about it, this is where the story takes off once the credits stop rolling, as they are moving in and the two step brothers meet for the first time. As these scenes roll there is some upbeat music paying in the background.

Green Street hooligans – The very first scene is the London underground at night, its very dark and is empty, as you would expect at this time. As it begin to zoom in on the stairwell, the green street hooligans come up the stairs making a lot of noise and kicking a bottle as if they were footballers. They look a cross and see a rival hooligan gang stood in a line. They compose themselves and begin to abuse one another. After some time a train passes and they begin to start fighting it cuts to them on the street as appose to being underground and the green street hooligans are winning and as one hooligan hits another it transitions into a calm and peaceful place and this is where you meet the main character, and the story then progresses from here and all the acting credits will come after this sequence.
