Intro Choice

I chose to do the watchmen intro. I chose this because it did a good job of setting the scene of a gritty 1985, where superheroes protect the streets and villans lurk in the shadows.It also shows how the public have responded to the heroes over time, leading up to their eventual disbandment. It shows examples of love, hate and murder which isn't uncommon for the watchmen, as it is shown in the opening scene and the opening credits. The music in the opening credits fit the imagery that was shown. It showed a passing of time for the world and for the watchmen including events such as the J.F.Kennedy asassination and the election of Richard Nixon. The credits ended with the words "who watches the watchmen" tagged on a window during a riot. This implies that the feelings for the watchmen have changed and that their role as protectors is no longer needed.
