Dead Again Opening Sequence:

Dead Again:
Released: 1991,
Directed by: Kenneth Branagh,
Actors/Actresses: Kenneth Branagh, Emma Thompason & Andy Garcia.

The opening sequence of 'Dead Again' has a very scary and mysterious theme to it. The music used throughout the opening is very jumpy and scary and the credits are placed throughout the sequence on a plain black screen.

The opening builds up the narrative of the film by showing the audience newspaper articles on the murder of a person the film is obviously based around. The whole opening sequence has very dark and gloomy lighting to reflect the darkness of the murderer. Also, the colour of the characters clothes is very simple colours such as black and white. Questions are definately asked by the audience to create enigma, as the audience is curious about the murder that has taken place. 

Then eventually at the end of the opening sequence the audience see that the whole story was a dream and we see Emma Thompson wake up and the film is in actual fact in colour.
