After starting to watch the first series of 'Six Feet Under', an american tv drama, I realised how much I liked the opening credits for it. I think it is well put together for many reasons. Firstly because of the very interesting shots they use and secondly because of the way those shots have been edited together to match the music perfectly, for example when the viewer is shown some sort of container filling up with liquid (at 0:47), the music changes abruptly and almost sounds like water dripping and splashing. Another example of this is the shot of the dying flowers (at 0:57), the music matches the action on the screen. Although this is not an opening for a film, I love it and hope we can use some aspects of it in our own film opening, like the way that the audience has not really been shown any storyline yet, but they still get a hint as to what the programme will be about.
Here is a clip from the TV soap 'Hollyoaks' which shows somebody waking up (at 0:07) in an unfamiliar place and is a bit a of a dream sequence too, this could be helpful for our film opening idea;
