Analysing Opening Scenes 3 - 'Easy A'


The next opening scene I am going to analyse is from the teen film 'Easy A' starring Emma Stone.


The sequence includes the following typical conventions of opening scenes:
  • Production company logos/idents (Screen Gems, Olive Bridge Entertainment)
  • The title card 'A Will Gluck Film' 
  • Indication of genre with upbeat music, setting (school) and fonts
  • Establishes California high school setting
  • Further title cards including the film title 'Easy A' and the names of the film's actors, followed by the names of significant crew members
  • Introduces main character and her traits through the use of voiceover and her actions
