Influences: Hancock

Although this clip has quite terrible quality,i feel that it is enough to give off the jist of this opening.

Hancock is a comedy drama and the reason in which i am interested in this opening sequence is due to the superhero reference. Hancock is more of a comically superhero film whereas mine is more horror however, both films would have similar target audiences. Due to not being a full on Superhero Action / Drama this film influences my opening sequence and gives me ideas on what visual elements should be incorporated when i am filming.

To begin with this film starts with production company's intros and others who helped in the production of the movie and then the movie title 'HANCOCK'. This is all shown while a high paced country soundtrack is played in the background and follows onto the first clip of a car chase involving the police and helicopters.

Next we are shown a pan of Hancocks body from toe to head while he sleeps on a bench, then a short take of bottles of alcohol on the floor next to him. The cop chase is edited parallel to Hancock to show that they are part of the same story.

We are then shown Hancock approached by a young boy alerting him of 'bad guys'. In this first scene it is immediately revealed to us that Hancock is not the nicest of characters and is then called an 'ass hole' by what looked to be an innocent boy which is very mainstream humour which fits in well with the genre of this film.

Although this is more of a comedy than a horror, this influences my opening sequence and gives me the idea of possibly doing all the production credits first like in Hancock.
