Research into a film opening

1. Lord of war

The Lord of war opening sequence is truly unique when it comes to camera work and editing. The sequence all takes place from a bullets perspective right from when it was made to the moment it was fired. The genre of the movie would come under a Crime, Drama, Thriller as the audience are shown action from the criminals point of view we also feel for those involved and in some cases an emotional bond like the child for example as children usually represent innocence and when we see him die we immediately think "Oh no that child was probably harmless with his whole life ahead of him how cruel" the story of the opening sequence shows the life of a bullet. As the sole subject is a bullet it creates a powerful message as the bullet from a gun is technically what kills the individual and so it represents death on a much longer journey than we imagine which is from the barrel to the target instead we see that is much longer. The locations vary from a factory where the bullet is made to the gun it is fired from to a basket in which it is knocked out from to the back of a truck riding through a tropical landscape. The first camera shot is taken from behind a factory worker as an establishing shot however it soon zooms in to  a extreme close up on to the manufacture process of the bullet itself. From there on the camera is always behind the target as if to show that the bullet is always heading forward to its final destination.
The first title that we receive is a well known actor as in Nicholas Cage so immediately the audience can relate to the film as they probably know the actor from other films. The second title is the film title Lord of War just as the bullet takes shape as this is what the movie represents... war.
Then we get the name of the actors including Jared Leto, Bridget Moynahan, Ian Holm, Eamonn Walker, Sammi Rotibi and many others then we get the caster which is Mindy Marin C.S.A which appears when the bullet enters another room to indicate the change in jobs. Then we get the Musician (who wrote the music) Antonio Pinto as the music is very important in this film as it creates the atmosphere so his name I one of the first when it comes the behind the scenes. Then we get the costume designer Elisabetta  Beraldo this again is mentioned earlier in the sequence as it is very important in the Mise En Scene of the film and makes it look authentic. Then we get the editors name followed by production designer, the  director of photography, followed by various executive producers and then at the very end we get the directors role as if to conclude the introduction with the most important role.  
This helps me understand the film industry in how important each role is e.g. a film could survive with a missing camera man or two but it needs its Director so the directors name is usually shown on its own to show its significance. THE REASON WHY THE INDUSTRY DOES THIS IS SO THAT THEY CAN PROMOTE BIG NAMES TO ATTRACT AN AUDIENCE THAT WILL BE INTRESTED THIS ALLOWS THEM TO MAKE MORE MONEY.
