One of the reasons we chose to look at this sequence for our opening was the scene at the trainstation. We wanted to acheive the same feeling as lonelyness as seen above. One way in which Eternal Sunshine achieves this is through the use of colours. There are no bright colours in the above sequence it's almost as if all the colour has been washed out and all that is left is greys and blues, both colours which represent are dark, sad mood.
Another part of the sequence of particular interest was the look of the beach, as in our sequence our protagonist visits the beach. On the beach itself we see Jim Carey is on his own apart from the one woman who is part of the films plot. This lonelyness is essential to the mood and feel of the sequence, one which we want to recreate in our opening. Also as said before the colours at the beach is washed out leaving a dark grey sea and sky, which reflect the mood of the sequence.
In the opening sequence we hear a voiceover from Jim Careys character. He talks in a monotonous almost moody manor throughout about how he is lost him memory. This voiceover adds the sad feel of the sequence and coupled with all the other elements mentioned above creates a sad, dark opening to Eternal Sunshine, something we want to acheive in our opening.
