Splice:
MICRO
Camera
The camera work in this film opening include; panning, tracking as well as the camera moving about. They have shot the film so it looks like the audience are inside the body of the creature and are moving to different bits and pieces inside it.
Editing
This is rare to see but the ident is customised to the movie. Another film that has this is the Harry Potter set.
Mise-en-scene:
They stick to a colour theme of green, as well as including many different skeleton features. Things such as organs, blood cells and the heart are also seen. As they're seen in a gruesome way, these are conventions of a thriller movie.
Sound:
Instruments create music in the opening - a piano and violin. As these are quite soft, it creates a suspenseful and tense atmosphere for the readers because of what you can see on the screen. The music however, increases and gets more intense further into the opening. They have also layered more sound by using sound effects such as the heartbeat.
MACRO:
The key plot introduced in the title sequence is the creation of something, as if the audience are actually in the creature watching it form. The storyline is introduced a little bit at a time. Primarily, the audience is unaware about what is going on but certain aspects of the film opening ease the audience into the storyline. However, there are no characters introduced in the film opening only the formation of one. This is a discrete film opening, so it's hard to see whether certain things are being represented.

The Game:
Camera:
Throughout the movie opening, they use a range of close ups of peoples faces with various tracking shots of people acting out fast movements. There are clear shots used such as an establishing shot. This is used to inform the audience where a scene is taking place.
Editing:
The editing is significant in this opening. There are special effects that happen throughout. For example, the puzzle effect which links to the title of the movie, The Game. It also looks as if the movie is really old and old fashioned due to the effect. As there were black screens in between in each some shots, these created tension as the audience are expecting something to jump out on the screen.
Mise-en-scene:
As the opening is set mostly at a wedding, the characters are dressed in fancy clothing such as suits and fancy dresses for the women. They have done this to make it clear to the audience.
Sound:
The piano playing in the background creates an uneasy atmosphere as the audience are waiting for something to happen. When watching it personally, I was waiting for a loud bang and something to pop up and make me jump. They also use sound effects, this time it was things such as glass breaking.
Macro:
The key plot idea introduces in the title sequence is a intimate family event with odd seeming characters lurking around. The storyline is introduced slowly at different times as the movie opening doesn't seem to run consistently and it doesn't seem to be put together seamlessly so the audience has to put the pieces together; just the a puzzle. Characters are introduced at different times in the opening, for example the little boy and his father are show at the beginning of the film. The shows that they are significant throughout the movie and have key roles. More of the family are introduced throughout the opening. The family are portrayed stereotypically at the stereotypical perfect wedding. However some of the family are represented negatively as he father smoking and his pushed someone into a swimming pool; which shows their flaws.
