A narrator- Can be used to help set the scene or give a background story to a film. When the narrator is also a character within the film they are known as the viewpoint character This is used at the beginning of Goodfellas.
Introduction of main characters- This is done so that there is no confusion as to who a certain character is.
Establishing Shot- This shot is used so that the viewer knows whereabout the film is taking place.
The music used in a film opening can be very important as it helps to set the mood or genre, for example sharp high pitched music could be associated with a horror.
Also the lighting used can set a tone, such as in a romance there could be low lighting used such as candle light.
