The opening to Guardians of the Galaxy immediately gives viewers an idea of the type of movie they are watching. The scene starts as being quite dark and gloomy, showing a mysterious figure walking on a strange, alien planet. This tells viewers straight away that the movie is a sci-fi, action adventure, but when he removes his mask and starts listening to his Sony Walkman while dancing around a dark cave, the audience realise it is more light hearted and funny than they thought when watching the previous scene. The fact that he isn't afraid of the aliens and instead kicks them as part of his dance, and uses one as a microphone adds to this.
The title of the movie also appears in large bright letters, contrasting the colours of the cave so that the audience know exactly what they are watching.
I really liked this intro as it immediately had me hooked and I was eager to see what else the movie had in store.
