This is England is an independent movie which falls under the drama genre. It was made in 2006 but set in 1986 which makes the filming really interesting. The most interesting part about the opening to this film is that it is all old footage from the 80s and none from the film. This gives an authentic feel to the film and gets the audience right into the time period.
This is the first image of the sequence. It shows the house that comes up a lot in the film and is significant. This is showing the audience where the film will be set and making them familiar with the surroundings. The music playing is 80s which gets them into the mindset and also the way the colours are edited also seem very eightyish.
This image shows 'skinheads'. This is followed up in the film. It shows what sort of characters are in the film so the audience are comfortable when they do see these in the main part of the film. The opening sequence is basically about getting the audience relaxed in the time frame.
This is showing the nightlife in the 80s. It had a rock band showing as well as the people 'partying'. The audience now expect partying and rock from the film!
This image reflects the movie title. It is also in 'old' quality so it fits in with the time period. This reminds the audience of the title of the film and the time era, this continues throughout the whole sequence.
In this shot it shows somebody watching the football from a small TV screen and it looks like its from a shop. The shot is clearly from the 80s and shows the contrast between today's television and the old times. The writing is also consistent and the audience
