What is the most resilient parasite? Bacteria? A virus? An intestinal worm? An idea. Resilient... highly contagious. Once an idea has taken hold of the brain it's almost impossible to eradicate. An idea that is fully formed - fully understood - that sticks; right in there somewhere. - Dom Cobb (Inception)
The blue background of the introduction screen signifies a possible low temperature, but it's main purpose is to link with the title, as it has a blue velvet backdrop
The credits are in a regal and elegant font
Stately music begins to play, although it has an essence of fear hiding behind it, a possible sign of what yet's to come
The shot pans downwards to a bed of contrasting flowers, all of which are portrayed in really bright colours. There are different types closely positioned however, which could signify conflict.
One of the strongest points to note in the opening scenes of Blue Velvet is that, contrastingly, there is a flowing theme of red, This notion is manifested in objects seen in the intro, such as a red lamp, a red car, people wearing red clothes, a red fire engine, a crossing lady with a red sign, roses and more. This has two possible meanings, either one of blood/death/murder, or romance, both of which have a large part to play in the film
Throughout the opening, plenty of bold, striking colours are used to catch the reader's eye.
There is a quick cut to a point of view shot, presumably through some animal's line of vision. This adds suspense as eerie music plays throughout
