Analysis of Opening Scenes and their Genres

Here is an opening scene of a different genre that I found myself. At the start the music reflects the saddened mood and depressing feel to the scene. There is no narrative which creates tension and suspense. You trust their body language and facial expressions to tell you the story as you see the elderly man break down and cry. It is during daylight to reflect the positive attitude towards the armed soldiers who died in the war.

Another opening scene that I reviewed was A Million Ways To Die In The West. The genre of this film is comedy.  This scene involves a olden west american town setting with no modern technology or buildings. Also the characters dress like they are from the west as well but the main character talks like he is from the modern day which creates a comedic feel to the film. A theme for this opening scene is crude humour and comedy.
