'Inglorious Basterds' film opening analysis


The Film opening we analysed was 'Inglorious Basterds' by Quentin Tarantino. The film is an action thriller with elements of black comedy that is a essentially a parody of war films.





After we had watched the opening of the film we deconstructed it into visuals and sound which can be seen in the photo below




In the first 0-0:30 seconds the universal logo comes onto the screen, this logo is in a old fashioned design suggesting the time in which the film is set in. At 0:36 seconds Quentin Tarantino's name appears on the screen and then 4 seconds later at 0:40 seconds the title of the film come on to the screen. The font that it is in stands out and makes the audience realize that this is the name of the film.

The soundtrack starts at 0:20 seconds and runs all the way through the opening title sequence until it starts to fade out at 2:00 minutes. The main cast all have their own names on the screen individually and other cast members have their names on shared screens expect for guest stars who are featured in the film who, like the main actor in the play, have their name individually on a screen Brad Pitt's name is the first to be seen on the screen at 0:40 seconds then comes other members of  the cast.
