This is a low budget film opening made by YouTube pwnisher (a YouTube company). it is based on the popular game killzone which is based on on a war/action film. I like this because of its use of special effects such as animated of the aircraft and explosions and gun flashes. Also its use of props such as the weapons and costumes and scene which has been costume made to suit the scene. also its fast paced action scene keeps me interested in the movie which I may want in my opening. this short film uses a simple institutional info intro with a matching logo which is what i want to achieve aswell so this video uses alot of the idea's and techniques I want in my opening. after watching it again and again I analysed its use of camera angles and shot types and one which i am using is a scene were he looks down the scope of his gun to scan the area, I am doing something similar and looked into the technique of doing that on the web and it is done by over lapping a scope image over the original footage.Other shots I payed attention too was close ups that show the body language and exspressions of the actors and may use some of that.

Black Hawk Down opening 2 minutes
After looking at some existing openings to some action/war films this one came across which is the opening 2 minute narrative of Black Hawk Down which uses an audio sound track and shots of the middle east to establish the scene. It also uses subtitles to create the scenario of the film it then goes into the opening of the film. I'm interested in the prologue technique of there opening scene and would like to feature it possibly in mine. For my opening I want to include some sort of prologue to give a background story to my film to give the audience a better understanding of whats going on.
Black Hawk Down is personally one of my favorite films and I do like the 2 minute opening as it give a different approach to the meaning of a opening as it gives more of a background story behind the film so the audience can get a better understanding of the film. it does that well by using gripping establishing shots that create the image and the scenario as well as using a super imposed opening using text to describe the film scenario over the gripping shots.
