Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (Opening Sequence analysis)

The opening sequence of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is old school animated (60s retro) but it is also quite amazing at the same time. Like most films, it is introduced by the name of the filming company with a mid shot of a building as the background. It then shows a very wide shot of a man jumping over a fence into a field and starts running, which could suggest to the audience that it might be a crime film. Another shot that could suggest this films genre is close up shot of a hand gun, which also relates to crime.

Extreme wide shot is also used to show people dancing inside a building  then it switches to a tracking shot when it follows a character falling from the top floor to the pavement outside.

This makes the opening sequence good because it doesn't tell you what the films about or what exactly is going to happen which teases the audience making them want to see more of the film. For example it shows someone that looks like a thief, a hand gun, people at a party, quite streets in a city then blood, which leaves which means the film could be of any genre.
