First analysis, This is England

The opening sequence for this is england is really inspiring for us, the montage of clips shows England in the 70's to 80's the clips are varied but have a large amount of clips of the 'skinhead' movement and of Margaret Thatcher, aswell as this there are clips of the army and riots prehaps showing lack of control at the time and general national revoloution in the sense of protestes, womans power and racial discrimination.
The montage works because it is very fast paced and exciteing which are important trates for an opening sequence as well as this it gives you a taste of the general topics that are comeing up in the movie. I really like this method and think it breaks the viewer into the film without the large question of 'Who are they' which is relevant in quite a few films, i think our opening sequence should follow a similar technique to this one.
