The opening sequence of Forrest Gump is slightly different compared to many other opening sequences of that similar genre. The film starts off with the paramount pictures opening so that the viewers are aware of which type of movie they are watching. As the film is hinting f the plot of the film, the opening credits are appearing on the screen then flashing off for the next credit to appear. While the filming is occurring, the viewers are following the feather shown in a close up shot with the town in the background to show a normal day atmosphere, which will eventually end up landing on the main the main character as an introduction. During this moment, gentle music is being played which connects with the feather as that is light and gentle as well. as the feather is flying around the shots vary from a low angle to a high angle, then just a direct view. Forrest then goes to pick up the feather, you can tell that he is a lonely character and a bit lost and confused. he is just sitting there and buses go by one by one. He doesn't seem to know what he is doing with his life. when the women comes it is just talking away without her responding. The viewers can also tell which type of character he is when he says "Life's like a box of chocolate, you never know what you gonna get" this shows that he has had a hard life. This opening sequence is very difficult to understand as it doesn't really indicate and represent all the types of genres.
