Film Opening 3: The Danish Girl

The Danish Girl

Tom Hooper, 2015

Lead actors: Eddie Redmayne, Alicia Vikander
Production companies: Working Title
Distributor: Universal


The Sequence

Two idents: Universal and vertically integrated subsidiary Working Title, as is always the case for Working Title their ident is dubbed over with diegetic sound, however in this case Universal also have been dubbed (has been done, as I saw in Shaun Of The Dead for example, and has been done in early examples such as The Breakfast Club). Pretty Pictures along with other companies's idents are not present. 


A landscape/extreme longshot

The rule of thirds is applied, background is in shallow focus. This anchors her as an important character, and without any foreknowledge of the film, one could immediately connote that she is the protagonist, the Danish Girl.


The time and location is given. Again reflection, connoting the theme of artistic expressionism
