Film intro analysis #2

The film 'Super size me' is a film about a man who eats nothing but McDonalds for 30 days straight and records himself doing it so people can see the effects.
The opening is very effective, especially to Americans. The reason being because the main character is introduced by him narrating over clips of obese people and he talks about the statistics of McDonalds and obese people in America.
He consistently talks about how people in America have tried to sue the huge corporation because they feel that the food they serve is extremely unhealthy and it is the corporations fault that damage has been done to the individual, and you can tell by his tone of voice that he disagrees with this.
The clips are all real life situations (e.g. outside fast food outlets and on beeches etc), and the use of these clips help the audience relate to what they are seeing because it is happened in the world they live in around them, especially for Americans as the footage has been filmed in America.
The statistics that are being narrated are very shocking, and are statistics that the average person wouldn't have heard before. This technique of shocking the audience is very effective as it keeps their attention through the opening of the film.
It is a very fast paced opening but that helps with the effect it gives off, the sudden rush of scary real life statistics is a brilliant way of keeping the audience concentrated, and personally, its made me think twice about eating McDonalds.
Personally I was impressed by the opening of this film, and it does make me want to watch the rest of the  film, mainly because of the last 30 seconds of the opening. He announces what task he will be completing during the film, and then the credits start to role.
