Film Opening (analysis, research and evaluation)

Whilst analysing, researching and evaluating the generic conventions of the film openings, i have come to a conclusion of the main aspects i have been looking for:

For example:

• Any narrative enigma? e.g. any glimpses of the set or the protaganist of the film
• The setting of the opening scene (denotations and connotations)
• Genre signifiers
• Audio (Diegetic or Non-Diegetic)
• Exposition 
• Use of camera angles and shots (e.g extreme long shot, close up etc...)
• The length of the opening scene and how the shot crosses to another shot (e.g cross fade, shot reverse shot etc...)
• The font of the Title and subtitles that may appear. They may be a certain font to connote or signify something significant 
• Props and locations (one location or multiple locations?)
• Editing 
• Costume (may signify the set or genre of the film)
• Characters (age, gender, class etc..)
• Sound/music (is it continuous soundtrack audio bridge?)
• Intertextuality - where the meaning of one text is linked to the meaning of another text
• The use of colours to help the viewer understand the atmosphere of the scence
