Grease Opening scene

Grease Opening Scene 

In the opening scene of Grease it is set in an exotic location on the beach with Sandy and Danny being all romantic, it is a romantic genre as you can tell by the location and the body language between the two. They use long shot angle of them on the beach as part of the opening scene with a view of the beautiful sunset as the background this can show more effect on the scene as it is very eye

catching. It makes it even more romantic with the classical music in the back ground. Also included is a few medium shots of them kissing with the sunset giving it an effect. Having a beach location setting is very romantic and effective as when you met someone for the first time the beach beach gives it a bit of romance as it is just beautiful.


Also in the opening scene you can see sometimes can see some over the shoulder shots where the camera has significantly shot an angle over the shoulder so you can see from a personal side of view what the seeing whilst in the conversation it just makes it more exciting having unusual camera shot. All these shots make the movie look more creative as you are shooting in an unusual angle








When it gets to 1 mins 43 seconds it goes in to a cartoon replica of the movie its self with the song  'Grease is the word' running through the clip. i think this is very effective as it shows even though this film was made in the 70's it still can use different effects to make the film more effective. The angle shots used are mainly medium shots or close ups as this part is basically introducing which characters is which and which actor plays it by showing the cartoon version of them.

Overall considering this film is a romance it can be very entertaining for an opening scene especially if there is a catchy song to it so people can get hyped up with film and sing along to it whilst it is coming on. Opening scenes are very important as you need to have a dramatic or entertaining scene so the audience can see what the film could be about so they continue to watch it more.
