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.
