Sex and the City
The narrative is romance, the characters we are introduced to are 4 women looking for love, the location we are shown too is New York City, This started as a programme so in the beginning it showed us a bit about the characters and their history, most of the opening scene told us about the characters looking for love in the city also the title tells us that the main thing about this film is sex revolving in the city. Also these opening scenes tell us this film is aimed at a Woman audience we know this because the credits are sparkly and pink also very bright and glittery, this shows the audience this is a film appealing to girls and this represents the narrative.
Twilight
The narrative of this film is Fantasy/Adventure/Romance, the main characters we are introduced to are a girl called Bella and a boy which is actually a vampire called Edward, the location is a small village called Hawks which is surrounded by a forest we know this is going be a romance because we see her looking at Edward when she goes to school and asks the girls about him, we also know its a fantasy because at the begging of the opening scene we see a POV (point of view) shot of something chasing a deer in the forest,we also know this films narrative is gunna be based around the girl because we are hearing her in a voice over telling us about her life which also informs the audience.
Luke you have described the narratives of both films. You need to develope this post by discussing the conventions that all opening sequences follow.
