To Kill a Mockingbird

I looked at the opening of To Kill a Mockingbird (Robert Mulligan, 1962) on Art of the Title for inspiration for my own film opening.

The sequence consists of a variety of shots, manily close ups of objects in a box. It is quite abstract which is why I was interested in it to begin with.
I also think the little girl humming works well and adds to the atmosphere.




Film plot from imdb:
Based on Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize winning book of 1960. Atticus Finch is a lawyer in a racially divided Alabama town in the 1930s. He agrees to defend a young black man who is accused of raping a white woman. Many of the townspeople try to get Atticus to pull out of the trial, but he decides to go ahead.
