Thursday 4th October 2018: Opening Sequence: Back to the future- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3isQI0nXQRE   Back to the future is a film made in 1985 which is a fantasy science film about Marty McFly and Doc Brown, who travel back to the future for various reasons that become apparent throughout the film. This is the first opening sequence that I looked at when planning my own sequence as it's a film I've watched many times and enjoy very much.  In this opening sequence, there is no music and the only sound to start with is many different clocks ticking. The camera is showing different areas of someones house but it isn't clear who's it is, but we can assume that it's the house of an inventor as there are different contraptions there, such as a machine to feed the dog and turn on the TV, around the house that are all set off by the clocks.  The breakfast Club- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUN-8TvevGU
