Inception intro

Inception: it starts off with black and white renditions of the Warner brothers,
legendary pictures and syncopy logos (in which are usually somewhat coloured)
alongside this the music starts off tense, as the logos are scrolled through the music
picks up in pace and volume, synergising with the grey logos, this could be used as
a tense and effective momentum builder.
We are given a medium-pan shot of the ocean, the waves crashing alongside the
music the mise-en-scene shows the audience that the sun is brightly lit, almost
cancelling out the dark-tense feel we were given previously.
The camera cuts twice quickly building speed and momentum yet again, until it cuts
to a close up of a man face down on the shore; this could intrigue the audience and
pulling them in to ask “who is this man? What importance does he have?”
It cuts quickly between the man and some kids on the beach, perhaps providing the
audience again with a sense of confusion, disorientating them into wanting to know
more.
The camera cuts to a Birdseye shot (perhaps used for is unsuality to once again
disorientate the viewer.) of the shore-bound man, with an another man pointing a
gun into his back, perhaps enlightening the audience to know that the shore-bound
man is in some sort of trouble or entrapment.
Shortly after the camera shows the face of the gun wielder, he shots out to the hills
in which the camera cuts to an establishing shot of an island, setting the scene for
the viewer.
The camera cuts to a long shot of two men standing behind a elderly man in a chair,
addressing him as sir, this show importance to the character, the camera zooms in
slightly giving him a high angled shot, once again providing power.
Thus concludes the two minute intro of inception, which provides a mixture of good
music cues alongside unusual camera work, all combining together for a ‘trip’ into
the distorted for the viewer.
