The 'Following' has a very interesting opening sequence as it takes the symbolic route. It starts off with a person putting on gloves, which could show that they are trying to hide who they are.

In the middle of the scene it goes black and the film title comes up. I think this is an interesting technique as the audience aren't expecting to see it.

The movie cuts straight from the opening sequence to dialogue. This creates suspense as the audience do not know what is going on so everything is a mystery.

One thing i found interesting is that there was know title sequence this may be due to the low budget but i thought that is was interesting as it could be said that the title has been shown for a reason as the director wanted a sense of suspense through out the movie.

I quite liked this opening as it didn't give to much away and it still leaves the audience guessing
