Batman 1989

Batman is a 1989 American superhero film directed by Tim Burton. Based on the DC Comics character of the same name, the film stars Michael Keaton in the title role, as well as Jack Nicholson, Kim Basinger, Robert Wuhl, Michael Gough, Pat Hingle, Billy Dee Williams, and Jack Palance. The film, in which Batman deals with the rise of a costumed criminal known as "The Joker" (Nicholson), was the first instalment of Warner Bros.' initial Batman film series.

The scene begins with the 'Warner Bros.' production opening, then switches to a dark scene where the only writing is of Warner Bros. once again but this time just in simple text in yellow, already we can link this with Batman as it is the Batman's logo colours, black and yellow, on top of this the music that is being played is dark and mysterious changing from higher note to lower note regularly and keeping a medium pace up, but when the words 'Batman' is shown the music begin to fasten up and becomes louder and more quick paced, helping to build up tension and excitement for the arrival of Batman, although he is not shown in the opening sequence.

As the titles continue to appear in the back ground the camera pans around objects that are not familiar and you cannot recognisea any of them, but the texture looks as if it is made of rock, this creates suspense as we wait for the object to become clearer.
As the camera begins to zoom out we realise that the object that the camera had been panning, turns out to be the Batman logo made of rock, just before we see the whole image the music becomes quieter and slower, but when the logo is finally fully shown and the camera stops zooming out, the music gets louder again as we finally focus on the logo, this builds up tension as we find out what the image is.
The scene then ends with the camera zooming back in as the scene fades out.
