Brief three was an apocalyptic film's opening sequence, as such i am researching a well known apocalyptic film's opening.
Genre: Post Apocalyptic
The Apocalyptic film genre comes from the Disaster film genre. These have been the subject of film-goers' fascination since the time of silent film epics, and this interest continues to exist up to the present time. Catastrophes can take so many different forms - but they are mostly man-made or natural. They can be either impending or ongoing, or they can exist locally or globally. The Apocalyptic sub genre often focuses on global catastrophes such as alien invasions, nuclear war, or asteroids going off course. Sometimes multiple ones together! The Post Apocalyptic element of the genre means that the film is set after the immediate catastrophe and focusses on the aftermath and trying to survive in the new climate.
The Divide
The opening shot to The Divide shows a woman -presumably the protaganist- shedding a single tear. This tells us straigt away that something bad is happening.
This shot shows us what is happening in the world of The Divide. It resembles how helpless the character is to stop any of it. These initial shots explain what is happening so that we understand the rest of the film.
We can see in this shot the frantic struggle to escape from the immediate catastrophe.
The font we see in the logo here depicts the genre. The D is cracked to depict the 'divide' and to show that the state of society and the setting is broken. The scratches also do this.
