Heat: The titles were white on a black background which made it very contrasting - creating a isolate atmosphere straight away. The way the titles then fade out so the screen is left black looks very affective because it makes it seem eerie.
We thought this was a good idea because it creates a clear atmosphere before any action happens. This prepares the audience and gives them something to expect in a way.
"Don't look now": In this title sequence the setting is very dull and grey - the little girl is wearing a bright red coat. The fact that the setting is so dull and the little girl is wearing a bright red coat automatically makes the red coat a significant thing to the audience.
The way the spacial editing is used creates an edgy feel to the piece because the movement from inside and outside links. For example - when the mother scratches her nose is it then cuts to the little girl outside also scratching her nose. Because there are so many snippets like this when the red appears on the picture it makes it much more clear to the audience what may have happened (along with all the hints with the little girl playing by the water).
We thought although this was an old film giving the audience little clues throughout the opening sequence is a good idea because it keeps the audience on their seat guessing what might happen.
Carlito's Way: In this opening sequence they had very loud and over emphasized orchestral music. In a way we did not like this but as the whole opening sequence was in slow motion it fitted the action well and did make it much more intense. As the whole sequence was in slow motion, when the main character (the man who is being rushed through hospital) speaks over the top of the action this makes it have a different feel because there is slow motion and then the ma is talking quite fast paced. It gives you a feel that although he may be in agony he is still up beat and confident which gives us a sense of his character.
