The opening sequence of A Series Of Unfortunate Events consists of a vast range of genre types. The opening sequence changes rapidly at one point and this allows us to analyse quite a few genre types such as:
- Adventure - The opening sequence gives the audience a sense of adventure because of how the children are mysterious and unique by there characteristics, and also because the narrator gives an idea that the children will have to find a new way of life after there parents died, which seems like an adventure.
- Comedy - The opening sequence also gives an idea that the film has some comedy in it, and this is because of the youngest child biting onto the table which is humorous and the way the narrator speaks is quite amusing too because of the sarcasm that he uses.
- Horror - Another genre that is used is horror, and this is shown just after the happy start of the film and how it quickly changes into a dark gloomy atmosphere which is a contrast to what was being shown a few seconds ago which was a bright lively atmosphere.
- Fantasy - The opening sequence can be seen as a fantasy too because of how the narrator speaks like he is unfolding a story which gives the sense to the audience that it is a fantasy. Also because of the weird things that the children do like being an inventor, reading books all day and biting objects gives the sense that the film has a genre of fantasy too.
- Family - The opening sequence gives the idea of a family genre too and this is because the 3 children have nobody else to look after them and they are orphans, and this means they will have to stick together as a family which shows how close the children are.
Because the opening sequence of the film has so many genre's it makes it a hybrid. And this is when there is a mix of genre's in a film and because this film opening has 5 different types of genre it can definitely be called a hybrid.
