The Da Vinci Code

There are many differences between the opening sequence and the trailer. For example in the trailer a variety of the good and tense clips of the film are selected and put into the trailer. For example when the man is running away from a mysterious thing and the camera is looking down at him can suggest that he is in a vulnerable situation, but also this clip was very short and didn’t spoil to much, so it allows the audience to watch the rest and want to go and see the film. In addition it grabs your attention very well by the variety of clips used, which are fasted paced like montage editing and taken from all different angles and lengths. This makes the audience stay focused as they have to follow what is going on and what is coming on next, as it leaves it on a cliffhanger and attracts them to go and watch.

Furthermore, the opening sequence starts sort of slow but also at the same time it attracts the audience and gets you hooked in. Also the beginning of the film establishes a mood and familiarizes it with the audience so the audience can set a tone and give themselves an early understanding of the film.
