The opening sequence of The Crazies was quite poor in my opinion. The opening sequence was basically images of fire and destruction. Although it had good use of camera angles and a good variety of camera angles which is what is needed to make a good opening sequence.
It had no substance and lacked a lot as nothing happened, yes the fire created a foreshadowing image of what is to come but thats all it created and it didnt really introduce to important opening sequence things like location, characters and plot.
I definitly didn't gain any inspiration from this opening sequence and i am not intending to use any of the camera angles or images used in this.
.....but it was a good film!
