[BATMAN 1989]
The opening of Batman starts with the camera shot pointing from the sky downwards towards the creepy remains of a mansion or castle. The lighting is eerie and dark which gives off creepy vibes. The music playing throughout the opening is dramatic classical music which makes the audience feel as though something amazing will happen during the movie. It also fits the location of the beginning, as classical music has been played for many years. The music becomes more dramatic and fast paced as the words "BATMAN" appear on the screen. The camera weaves through dark stony passageways as if it is the audience walking with the camera, this gives them the feeling that they don't know what is coming around the corner.

The intros lighting is dark and dimly lit. The objects that are seen all give off a spooky blue glow, resembling moon light. The only sound is the choir and classical music playing in the background, which changes pace from time to time. The music seems creepy and gives off a fairytale quality because of the images.
The camera shot moves from stone stairs to an old wooden door which opens as the camera moves onwards. This gives off the feeling that the audience is being welcomed into a different world than what they are used to. A series of strange objects and machinery are shown as the credits play. The writing also contrast greatly on the dark background.
This opening mixes traditional Japanese art and anime with modernday hip hop music. The music is calm and dreamy, which goes with the colours they use in the opening. Sudden movements will only come into view when the beat comes in. This creates a flowing feeling to the intro.
