Rollin' With The Nines Opening Sequence

As we come into the film, we see various shots of an unknown man reloading different types of guns and telling us about them, we see a close up of his gold teeth and smoke coming out and then we see the title “Rollin’ with the nines”, sirens, gunshots, helicopter sounds all building up. The film starts off with a two shot of what seems to be some promoters of rap music in a radio station telling people about this new release, within that time we see various shots such as medium shots and close ups. As we move on we’re hearing this new release as we see long shots of the city and the community, we see eye level camera shots of the different areas of the community, we see community police officers, we see motor bike riders raging passed with the camera slightly following it, then we see camera movement and a tilt downwards of what seems to be a local stores. Then we see the camera blurred then into focus with young people interacting with each other and then various other shots of people in the area living a normal day with the subtitles etc. as we come to an end of that, we see medium shots and close ups of these young people talking about music and what seems to be their new “career”, their talking about getting money with this new CD they have produced and recorded as they’re talking about this there are close up shots of jewelery shining which is relevant to what they’re talking about “the high life”, before this they’re arguing and discussing about this CD, a couple of two shots and, many close ups and medium shots of the number of people in the room discussing about this CD. As this scene comes to an end, fast paced music makes an intro and we see an establishing shot or an extreme long shot of the London city, and a pan horizontally moving from left to right, in the background we see fireworks. We then see various low angle long shots of the different buildings and sights of the city and Leicester square and another pan (scanning the scene left to right), this then fades and a limo comes into focus. Hopping out of the limo the new so called artists or “stars” make an entry to a club, enjoying themselves, various edited shots of males and females dancing etc. we see more than one smile on faces.

This will help our film because there are certain elements in the film such as urban background and lifestyle which hits our point of interest

  1. This describes shot types and movement well, but for this to be deemed an analysis you must explain how this may affect the audience and hook them in. You should also attempt an evaluation of how well they do attract the audience's attention to maintain it. A brief outline of the type of audience who would watch this film would benefit this piece.
