Most film opening share a start to them that shows the film company that made them so for instance in the bad boys trailer i posted a few days ago that has Columbia films logo presented at (0.13) (the opening can be seen below.) then is says Columbia pictures presents this is showing that the Columbia film studios own this film. where as in the opening for scary movie shows that its owned by dimension films (0.01)
The establishing shot of these fiilms are very different scary movie starts with a long shot showing the whole set where as bad boys shows the wheel of the car in a extreme close up shot. the long shot creates the effect that we are bieng shown what is going on where we are before the movie actually starts. the bad boys movie starts with us chucked directly into the film so we feel as we are part of the movie right from the start.
the titles of these movies come at the end of the opening scene but there are no character names mentions or actor names in captions in the scary movie opening. in the bad boys opening there are however the names of the actors come up at the beginning but once again the title of the film don't appear till the end of the scene. also the scary movie opening show one of the main characters and one that is just there to start off the sequence. but in the bad boys movie you see the two main characters and you learn what their role is and what jobs they have the type of characters they are and you lean somewhat how the story's going to end up.

The genre conventions portrayed in these openings are quite different; whereas scary movie opening portrays comedy with a little horror it does this by making a layout course a to generate a comically funny serious of silly events but the fact it happens on Halloween Friday the 13th and the fact that the killer is dressed up in a scream costume portrays the side of horror involved. The bad boy opening portrays action and adventure with a little thriller. it does this by using a fast car a lot of swearing and the use of guns. also the action part is generated by the face in the first scene there is a attempted car jacking and how they handle it prove that the film will involve action and adventure.
All of my films are the first of there sequels. the bad boys and johnny English film is the only one to have the actors name in the credits at the start the scary movie film doesn't have this.
