Analysing Crime Film Opening Sequences - Introduction

Now that I have chosen to work within the crime genre I am going to have a closer look at the opening scenes from five films from the genre to see how they are influenced by some of the crime conventions I have identified in my previous posts.

The opening scenes I am going to look at are:

'Snatch'

'Bonnie and Clyde'

'The Godfather'

'Heat'

'Murder on the Orient Express'
