Movie #3: La La Land

       In the opening scene of this film, it starts from the camera going from the sky to the freeway. You can hear the music of each car as the camera passes by showing diversity between everyone, I feel. It finally stops at one car where there is a girl who is singing and she jumps out and the camera stays in front of her as she gets out and starts dancing. As everyone joins in , the camera angles switch from in front of them to behind the dancers to either lead or follow them. The sound in this is seen from the singer who starts it and then the rest of the actors join in. At the end of the opening scene, they all jump back in their cars and the honking is continued as in the beginning. No jobs were introduced in the opening scene either. The budget this film had was $30 million and they made $445 million. This film has won multiple big awards and been nominated for just as many.

Movie #2: Titanic

          In the opening of this film, the first thing shown looks like an actual clip from the day the ship left port, with everyone waving, so it's used as a flashback. Then after the flashback is shown in the warm colors, the deep blue water takes over the screen with small waves as it presents the title of the movie, Titanic. The camera then is submerged into the water as the submarines come free falling down towards the camera and as they pass the camera, the camera tilts down to look down at the submarines as they slowly disappear into the depths of darkness. The opening music starts as a deep chord and then transitions into a very sad sounding song being sung by a lady and it is a common song heard in the movie. You can hear the submarine going into the water and passing the camera.  The recognized jobs in the opening credits seemed to be just the production companies, Paramount Pictures, Twentieth Century Fox, and Lightstorm Entertainment. This movie, filmed in 1997, had a budget of $200 million and the film made $2.187 billion. It has won a lot of awards, including an Oscar award and a Golden Globe award, and has been nominated for even more.
