the main colour used in the opening sequence is blue although blue can be used to show serenity and calm in this opening sequence it seems to be used to show sadness this is obvious because of the music which reinforces this idea, the music is slow and down beat giving the whole sequence an overall feeling of misery. the way the writing is spaced out gives a sense of loneliness and isolation, they must have been trying to give some sort of emotion across other wise they would have regular spaced lettering, this feeling of loneliness links to the colour blue to reinforce the sadness created within the sequence. the way the black colour contrast against the blue background makes it clear and obvious to the audience it could also symbolise darkness within the sadness in the sequence. the car appears from the blue which is now clear that it is snow because the blue now turns to white also the music has increased in volume giving the scene a more dramatic atmosphere, the car driving towards the camera creates drama because it creates a feeling of danger and uncertainty because you can only see the outline of the people in the car which will also intrigue the audience and make them think what is happening and encourage them to watch the rest of the film. moreover the mist used within the scene makes it more mysterious. the last words shown are the letters of the name of the film this is clear because they are bigger and stand out more then the other words used within the scene again they are spaced out further creating the feeling of loneliness there is a cross fade to the start of the which is a good way to introduce the film in a less sudden way.
this relates to our sequence because they are both ransom situations are film is mainly revolves around a ransom situation whereas Fargo contains ransom situations.
