As my group have the idea of doing an independent drama for our opening sequence, I thought it was a good idea to analysis the opening scene of Submarine, and maybe get some inspiration for our main task.
The many production companies shows that this is an independent film. This film is an example of production synergy (uses various companies to produce the film). There are the two main companies are Film 4, and the UK Film Council. Along with these, there are 6 other companies. These are all showed in white writing on a blue background, which helps us associate the film with the sea, creating a link with the location.
There are cuts between these titles - A slow panning shot of the protagonists room which gives subtle clues as to the location of the film through diegetic sound. Faintly waves can be heard as well as sea gulls telling us that this film is located by the sea.
The establishing shots have a long duration, representing the pace of the film.
In this shot the protagonist - Tate - Is under the horizon. Which looks like he Is under the sea, whish could represent him drowning in his surrounding, like a submarine.
