Purpose of a film opening- Kill Bill

Kill Bill


The first title we see on the film Kill Bill is the film company Miramax, as its logo is presented as soon as the film begins. Differently the film Kill Bill starts off with a quotation, based on the film- "Revenge is the dish best served cold". This quote for the audience to see allows them to have an idea of how the film will progress or start with. Then the first title of the film comes up, stating the film company. Suddenly, the shot cuts to a close up of a hurt and crying woman who is dressed in a wedding dress, as she breathes heavy and shows utter pain in her face, the audience are able to see that this film violence based. Not long after a hand comes into the screen and wipes the woman's face, here the audience are able to see a handkerchief with the name 'Bill' on it- relating to the title, suggesting to the audience that 'Kill Bill' is a basic description of what kind of person this character is. 

After this scene, the rest of the opening sequence begins and a non-diagetic sound of a song begins to play. Here is where the actors names and film title's begin. The title sequence then continues by stating the co-stars and other main actors. It then cuts to stating the actors/actresses and what role they play within the film. Then the guest stars. After the introduction of the actors, we begin to see the other titles which go in the order of - Editor, Martial Arts Advisor, Casting, Special Makeup Effects, Associate Producers, Costume Designers, Original Music, Production Designers, Director of Photography, Executive Producers, and finally the Producer.
