Hot Fuzz

Hot Fuzz like all the other film openings I have researched, they start the film with the distribution company so this is how we are going to start our film. There is a non diegetic alarm sound during the viewing of the distribution titles. There is a sound bridge from the distribution company and the production company which shows these are linked together. The next shot is an extreme long shot showing the corridor as the man in police uniform walks into the building. He is wearing police uniform which suggests that this film will be serious. This shot slowly zooms into the man walking towards the camera. There is ambient sound of footsteps which show this is a very quiet place he is in. Then there is a non diegetic voiceover telling the audience who the man is which the identity badge. The next shot is of a close up of his shoes which were cut in to the film to show where the noise was coming from and this also shows a lot about the character as his shoes were clean. Then there is a medium shot which shows smartly attended uniform. There is a non diegetic voiceover telling the audience about his life, where he graduated. Then there is a side medium shot of him which suggests that this character must be the main character because this is the only character seen so on. Then there's an extreme close up shot of the badge on the side of his coat showing what number in the police force he is. Then it cuts back to the medium side shot of him with a non diegetic voiceover still telling the audience about him. Then there is a cut to a medium shot of him in a sports hall wearing a blue polo shirt and shorts which suggests that he is more than just a normal police officer. There is diegetic sound of a man blowing a whistle which suggests that he is under some examination also by the way he is standing. Then it zooms in into his face showing four other people in the same place which don’t look focused where as he is focused. Then it pan’s off to the right and you see a medium tracking shot following him through the obstacles in his way. He is wearing riot uniform to show that he is doing this for the police not as a hobby.  Then there is a medium shot showing everybody else going into the obstacles following him. He is first to suggest that he is the best policemen there is in that area. Then they cut to another medium shot where he is facing and running at the camera. There is a non diegetic voiceover telling the audience about what he does in his spare time. Then there is a close up of him behind a riot shield which suggests that he has been in combat a lot of the time because he looks determinate where as if that was his first time he would look frightened. Then there's a cut to a long shot showing groups of policemen behind riot shields which shows there's a riot going on. There is fire bombs being thrown at them to show this film will be action packed. Then there is a lot of cut in and out shots of him showing what his reaction is to the fire bombs being thrown at him. Then there's a cut to show a exam paper with him circling the right answer which then pans up to show him giving the paper to the examiners where as everyone else is still writing down the answer. Then there is a medium tracking shot going back to the police station following him up stairs. Then there is a last shot when the non diegetic voice over finishes of him being stabbed in the hand by a man dressed as Father Christmas which shows you the rest of this film will not be just action packed.
