Scott Pilgrim vs the World: This opening starts with giving us some basic information about the character through an everyday conversation with his flat/housemates. In this way, we find out who he is, how old he is, and what he does. The sequence then goes on to introduce other characters in the film, which lets us immediately get into the film. We are almost in the position of the character of "Knives" who doesn't know any of the characters or their music etc.
Any Human Heart: This introduction s very different to the previous one, as it gives us no real information about the film, or about what is to come, which I think is fine in an opening as we don't want to be overloaded with information as soon as a film starts. It's an animated opening sequence and is quite visually interesting, so captivates the audience without them knowing about anything that is going to happen.
FIght Club: The opening sequence to this film leaves the audience with a lot of questions about what's going on, once they have seen to whole opening. The very beginning takes us through the character's brain, but before we see the whole picture, we have absolutely no idea of what's going on, which is quite an effective way to open a film. The colours are very dark, setting the tone perhaps for the rest of the film, and the audience is only introduced to one character visually; we still don't know who he is or who is holding the gun to his mouth.
