Layer Cake
This task has given me a good idea of what needs to be included in my opening. Credits are very important and many of them are shown during the opening. They do not require an entire title sequence, but can be implemented into the scene. This is the case in many British gangster films. The credits typically include the main actors, costume and prop designers, director, production companies and the title of the film.
It has also given me a good idea of what is expected in terms of mise en scene in gangster openings. They generally include some form of voiceover and non-diegetic music. The amount of dialogue varies from film to film, but it doesn't normally involve anything major to do with the plot, that is left to the voiceover. The early dialogue is often used to introduce the characters.
