Dead Poet's Society Opening Sequence


 Introducing a high profile boy’s school environment, the Dead Poets Society opening sequence creates a feel of tradition, legacy, and long-held honor. The beginning shot, centered on a painting of uniformed and seemingly audacious school boys similar to the ones shown later in the film, provides an inference of the present competitive student body. The proceeding scene of a ceremonial preparation, following with the honorable ceremony itself, alludes to the audience a prolonged tradition. As the students and staff members enter the old yet authoritative chapel holding flags displaying principles of discipline, excellence and so forth, the families’ expressions foster pride for their boys. This esteemed private school offering honorable education insists on excellence in adamant and intelligent young men, while the stern looks of students reveal a certain madness and passion for the competitive curriculum and atmosphere.
