Watchmen was also directed by Zack Synder. who manages to tell a long story in a single opening credit sequence, including major moments in history such as the Kennedy assasination and the moon landing. This was the main reason I wanted to take an insight into this sequence, after I had decided what the story of my film was going to be I found similar attribrutes in some of Synder's work, mostly how he can tell long meaingfull stories with heart and emotion within minutes, and I will try and replicate this in my short film.
