The Scorpion King (Chuck Russell 2002)
When the film first starts we as an audience see a mountainous range and a very vast area is shown to us. This could make us feel calm. Also there is not much sound. This could pull us into a false sense of security and therefore make us feel safe in this situation. A strange looking man then enters the screen looking round as if expecting something. A sharp pointy object then hits him in the face probably killing him if not fatally wounding him. This makes us jump as there is a calm opening with the mountains followed by a bit of sudden violent action. It then clips to inside the building where we see lots of people having fun ready to kill someone. This is ruined by what we presume is the main character bursting in. This action packed beginning helps us go to the main characters side and we like him because he has beaten many bad guys to save his brother. The opening is then calmed down by showing us the name of the film. This slows it down and calms us back into our seats.
Jet Li’s Fearless (Ronny Yu 2006)
The start of Jet Li’s Fearless (Ronny Yu 2006) shows us and tells us what has happened in china and also what is happening at the time the film is set in. This lets the audience know the storyline easily early on. Following on from this we see a showdown of one country against another with Jet Li fighting. There are four rounds and there are mass amounts of action throughout this sequence with Jet Li winning the first three. This action packed bit of filming shows Jet Li being dominant whilst fighting, with a staff and with a sword which makes us believe that he is… Fearless
