Final Task Research : Sherlock Holmes opening Sequence

The sherlock Holmes film which came out in 2009 and was directed by Guy Ritchie started on a budget of $90 million and ended up with a gross revenue of  $523,029,864 . This was evidently a highly successful Detective/Crime film. This film ws distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.
This movie begins by showing a series of titles embedded in a cobble floor this immediatly sets the scene for the audience as cobbles represent old villages. In the background some non diegetic music is heard it is quiet. The camera is rapidly turned upwards so that the setting is seen more clearly. There is some diegetic sounds like horses neighing along with increasingly dramatic music. The horses neiging gives a sense of distress. the camera follows a carriage and quickly zooms into inside the carriage where a man is holding a  gun this shows that something is about to happen already.
This is an element that could be incorporated in our opening sequence as this would keep the audience in suspense. We want our opening sequence to be very dramatic and to instantly grab the audiences attention.
