Opening Sequences 03 - Sherlock Holmes

From the opening the audience will be able to acknowledge that this film is set in the past, as the the typewriter and the characters clothing suggest that the film is not in a present time period and the fact that the character says that the year he is in is 1891.

The music and the way how the characters are introduced suggest that the film genre is an action mystery movie. The plot of the film is not made clear but the main characters are established and the film suggests through narration that its about the life of the character Sherlock Holmes.

The music of the opening works well with the time period of the film as it is not something you would expect to hear in a film set in the present. The music also links in well with the genre of the film as its quite mysterious but its fast paced, which is something you would expect from an action movie.
