'Delicatessen' Opening Sequence

Delicatessen - 1991 - Marc Caro and Jean-Pierre Jeunet
(Opening Sequence)
  • The opening sequence to this film is a one shot camera movement around a room tracking over various items and artefacts that show the credits on them.
  • I like the idea of writing some of the credits on items that correspond with the person's job. For example, the director of photography is written on a camera. It makes the opening sequence more interesting and entertaining by giving pairing text with the item in frame.
  • I also like the fact that the entire sequence is kept within one colour scheme: a golden/brown/sepia/shadowy colour giving an old, worn, dusty feel to the film
