Band of Brothers
The film opening of Band of Brothers shows all of the main characters and the scenes that they will be or have been in. The titles of Band of Brothers are shown in different places and times throughout the opening to stay bold and to capture the attention of the audience. The Titles like producer and editors are in red and the names are in white, I believe they are like this to oppose each other to again capture the attention of the audience. The clips that play in the background are in a grainy black and white with some color hue to show the World War 2 genre of the series. The clips are also jumpy at times and glitch y to pretend to be old cameras that were of that era. Pictures of the characters in key exciting moments of the series are also shown to hook the audience to keep on watching so that they can see those parts. The music of the opening and the theme song of the entire series is a choir singing with deep strung instruments and drums, as well as the entire theme song being rather sad at times; it appears to trying to be a funeral song for all those that were lost. This theme song was used to trigger emotion from the audience onto the characters before the series has even begun.The characters costumes and their stances all shown was that of someone who was exhausted as well as blood splatter giving the impression of a hostile environment. As well as the environment of which the characters are placed with the guns that they hold and shoot and the dirt that are in their faces it also shows something that is not pleasurable.
