During the half term, I watched the films Haywire and The Vow. Both of these films are very different in terms of genre however they're openings are interesting in terms of the differences between the two.
The opening of Haywire is quite slow paced as not much is going on. The music is very wild western themed to go with the atmosphere of the opening which is a close up shot of the main girl looking at the cafe where she is meeting someone. As it goes on, it becomes a lot more fast paced due to the fighting that starts to happen.
In The Vow, it starts slow paced just like Haywire however it begins to liven up a lot more quickly than Haywire does because there is a lot more going on in the opening scene in terms of mise en scene and sound. Also, it focuses on the two main characters, not just one main character.
I thoroughly enjoyed both films however, I enjoyed The Vow more because I felt that I was constantly gripped to The Vow more than Haywire due to the plot, music etc.
