Art of the title is a title sequence website which is about gaining openings of films and cutting them down into sequences. The sequence I have chosen is Dirty harry because it appeals to me because I like the camera shots in it, and its a hard hitting action thriller.
Link to the more info on Dirty Harry can be seen on the web page:

A sadistic Canadian serial killer, Charles Davis, who calls himself "Scorpio, murders a young woman in a San Francisco high-rise rooftop swimming pool using a high-powered 30-06 hunting rifle from the roof tops of a skyscraper. When SF-PD Inspector Harry Callahan investigates, he finds a spent shell casing and a ransom message from the killer, promising his next victims will be "a Catholic priest or a n*****".
In the first scene right in the beginning of the film, you see a closeup of the tip of the sniper riffle, suggesting immediately to the audience that something is going to happen.
In the second scene however the audience knows instantly that this girl in the pool is in danger in which she could die.
In the third scene we see the introduction of Harry Callahan suggesting to the audience that this guy is most probably a main character in the film.
In the fourth scene we saw the girl from the second scene lying dead, indicating that she has been shot.
In the fifth scene we see a low angle shot of Harry walking to the possible sniping spot making the audience think that the killer could be caught.
In the sixth scene we then see a high angle shot of Harry overlook the swimming pool where the man possibly fired his shot.
In the seventh scene we see a mid long establishing shot of the pool where the girl got shot making the audience familiar with the scene.
Int the eighth scene we see a closeup of a bullet case, suggesting to the audience that the criminal is going to be soon captured.
In the final scene we see a mid closeup of Harry reading a note left from the criminal suggesting to the audience that this criminal is playing mind games and is not going to be easy to catch.
