Opening Sequence Conventions

We watched a 2 minute opening from Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire which is a fantasy/adventure hybrid genre. The title sequence is quite mysterious. this fits in well with the genre of fantasy/adventure because fantasy is mysterious as it is not based on reality and things that we as an audience do not experience in everyday life.

The theme tune in Harry Potter is used through every Harry Potter film but is slightly altered each time to fit more to the pace and different sub genres used. The theme tune in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is quite mystical which fits in with the fantasy genre. the fast movements and short shot durations show through the other side of the hybrid genre adventure.

The establishment of setting helps tell us the genre of film as the House that the scene is set in is big, abandoned and dark and black. Its shows fantasy as their is a lack of establishment of characters and the whole set itself is very mystical and doesn't give away much to the audience.
