"Sexy Beast"
The opening title sequence of "Sexy Beast" starts with the first voice over with a wispy/cricket sound which catches your attention straight away wanting you to keep on watching the rest of the scene. There's a strong use of music which has a very sassy, light heartened and slightly comedic tone giving the sense that the scene is a comedy. Your first introduction is a clearly shown main character who is a middle aged, sweaty, leather skinned and tanned man with an arrogant, non classy attitude giving the idea that he was not born into money. He is obviously the owner to the huge house shown in the scene due to the way he commands the spanish boy to clean the pool. The house is in the middle of no where with a very hot and muggy environment with only a few towns which is shown from a long shot, indicating that he is trying to keep a low profile and probably is up to no good due to the angle of how higher up he is due to the other houses, As the scene goes on you get a cross cut shot to a woman driving a car away from the camera indicating that she's driving towards him and away from us, from the same environment surroundings in the shot. In the camera shot before the woman, it shows two hearts as part of the tile decoration in the swimming pool which suggests that they are both lovers which also makes you start to ask questions such as who? what? where? keeping your focus on the scene. The information about the sequence is placed either as the bottom of the shot or on the sides which was done deliberately to keep the focus on the action of the scene.
