Harry Brown Opening Sequence

At the start of the Harry Brown opening there is a black out which includes some credits over the top which is a good way of of making the audience focus on just the sounds and credits. There is a voice over being a males voice using offensive language. An image then appears and the camera movement is hand held, creating the effect that it is a video being filmed on a mobile phone. The sounds here are loud and there is a lot of shouting which creates it to be quite intimidating for the audience. The dark setting adds to this frightening atmosphere. There are many hooded male characters which creates enigma because of there being no certainty of any main characters being introduced. There is then another black out when the chanting of the hooded characters stops. The footage then goes back into a hand held camera movement again creating it to look like a mobile phone video. It is very busy and the pace is fast as the characters are on a moped. The sound along with this footage is very loud adding to the busy camera movement. With so much happening it really engages the audience into the film. With the use of the hand held camera movement it lets the viewer get an insight to where the film is set, being a London council estate. Overall the use of camera movement and sounds in this opening is what engages the audience and make them want to carry on watching the film.
