Film opening inspiration!

Now that we have realised our clips look more like a trailer rather than a film opening we have decided to do some more research into film opening sequences.
We came across the film closing for Sherlock Holmes and we were really inspired! We had previously decided that our opening would be quite slow pace, but watching this has made us change our minds! It has a very fast pace and we particularly like how the movement in the clip freezes as the credits appear on screen. We might speed up the pace of our clips, however keep within the art house theme.

They have also included an interesting effect which gives their clips a 'painted' effect. We thought using an idea like this would successfully seperate the flash back clips from the present time clips. We are likely to change the saturation etc. in order to achieve a look simular to this as creating this effect would be too difficult for us.
