Analysing Opening Scenes - 'Once Upon A Time In The West'

 

The fifth opening  sequence I am going to analyse it the western film 'Once Upon A Time In The West'.

Production Company Logos

Titles/Credits - Fulvio Morsella, Henry Fonda, Frank Wolf

Music - The music sounds very depressing and rustic which could indicate that this is film is set in the west

Setting - This film looks like it is set in a large, dry desert far away from major towns and city’s which shows that this could clearly be a western

Main Character - The main character looks very agitated and slightly psychopathic, he looks like he has a killer's mentality and is not someone to mess around with

Genre -  the location, costumes and transportation make it clear that this is a western
