I have chosen this director to explain the genre of our opening sequence. He includes an assortment of element in his films such as frequently using hard cuts when transitioning to the next scenes. This is most prominent in his films from the Batman trilogy, especially in 'The Dark Knight', where, in some instances, the hard cuts he uses will go so far as to nearly cut off character's lines in order to quickly and efficiently get to the next scene. He also ever uses non-diegetic soundtracks. The music is always used diegetically (its always played from a source within the film that the characters themselves can hear, like a radio; "Non, je ne regrette rien" by Edith Piaf was used by the characters as a kick in "Inception"). I have listed more elements above. From all these elements, one of the elements we will include is that our character will have a psychological disorder called memory lapse. We will also include wide close ups of our main character.His films usually revolve around characters that are afflicted with some kind of psychological disorder. For example: Guy Pearce's short-term memory "condition" in Memento (2000) Al Pacino's titular sleeping disorder in Insomnia (2002) Christian Bale's phobia of bats in Batman Begins (2005 Aaron Eckhart's dual personality in The Dark Knight (2008) Leonardo DiCaprio not being able to grasp onto reality in Inception (2010).When shooting a dialogue scene, the actors are often framed in a wide close-up with shallow depth of field to blur out the background.
