What do we expect to see in the opening of a film?
PulpFiction
In a cafe/restaurant 
Dialog between the two characters 
Fast pace music- comparable with events taking place (burglary of the cafe)
Bold 'pulp fiction' in yellow and red
Flash up of titles-white font and quick 
Just a focused on a couple who are in love and commit a robbery together
10 Things i hate about you 
Young girl listening to pop music in a convertible car, older girl listening to rock in her older car.
-Then goes onto a school and the characters listening to rock music in their cars 
The next scene goes onto a school and the character we were initially introduced too in the previous scene pullying down a poster of the school prom (aggression)
Titles - bold font- flashing different colours - fast pace which is comparable to the music and fast pace school scene. 
-no dialog apart from someone complaining when the poster is ripped down 
The dark knight 
-tense music (ticking time bomb)
-in a city 
-initially see someone robbing a bank 
-masks and weapons 
-no titles 
-negotiating on bank deals is the only dialog 
-non diegetic music (the music is not being heard by the world of the film) 
-the props used in the opening scene(the masks and the weapons) billed up tension for the idea of the genre thriller. 
-next scene in the opening two minutes diegetic sound is used for the smashing off the window.
