Research and Planning

I am going to compare two openings of two different movies form different times. The opening scenes I will be comparing are The Incredible Hulk (2008) and Kill Bill (2008).

The opening scene to both these films are very different as in The Incredible Hulk, the story starts when Bruce Banner is infected with the radiation that turns him into the hulk. Whearas, Kill Bill is very strange, i have never seen Kill Bill and so found this opening scene shocking and jumpy. The Incredible Hulk, is a movie i have seen a couple of times and understand the story. From seeing the opening scene to Kill Bill, it seems like Uma Thurman's character is in trouble and has been beaten up by someone. The shot at the end makes me think the movie may have started at the end and will show how the characters got into the situation they are in. The Incredible Hulk looks very modern with all the special effects and camera shots, but Kill Bill looks quite old-fashioned as it is black and white in colour. The Kill Bill opening scene made me feel uncomfortable and uneasy because of the characters heavy breathing and the footsteps coming closer and closer. In The Incerdible Hulk the credits and the actors names come up while the opening scene is playing but Kill Bill had no writing or credits or anything, so i believe that this opening scene doesn't introduce the film properly as it doesn't display any key concepts except the actors on screen.
