The Truman Show, is a drama that was released in 1998 and directed by Peter Wier. In the first few minuetes of the film we are told about a TV show called The Truman Show and are introduced to the concept of it, we then start watching the programme with the titles for the TV coming on screen and interviews with the actors that are in it and their views on the show meanwhile we get shots of Truman talking to a camera thats behind a mirror (unknown to him). We then see him talking to his neighbours, then a studio light falls from the sky, he then investigates it. He is then in the car listening to the radio that gives an explanation to why it fell.
The film is set in an american suburb that is a TV studio and has loads of hidden cameras to film Truman. In the opening scene some of the enigma codes that are set are, will he find out he is in a TV show, or does he already know. There are effects on the camera in the car that makes it seem its behind the clock in the car, the shot in the bathroom has stuff infront of the camera making it apear to be behing a mirror/cabinet. This film doesn't seem to follow any characteristics of a particular genre.
Some of the ideas from this I could use in my film opening is the piano music that helped to set the tone of the film.
