Opening credits to Beetlejuice.

Shown below is the opening credits to the classic film Beetlejuice..




From the beginning of the clip the overhead shot is used to create a birds-eye view of the forrest.


As the video continues, the focus comes away from the trees and focuses on the large area of the town - using the extreme wide shot.


The camera then returns back to an overhead view of some trees; this time also following in the direction of the road using tracking.


As the introduction comes to a close, the close up shot is used to bring the consistant moving/tracking of the camera to a halt and focus on the view of the house.

Throughout the opening credits to Beetlejuice, there seems to be a continuous theme of overhead, wide shots; giving the audience of view of the entire town and the house the basis of the film will be set in.
