Forrest Gump Film Opening

This opening follows the typical conventions of a film opening as it begins with the institutional logo for the production company, Paramount. Then, the audience is shown that it is set in a small city. The title of the film, names of the cast and director have also been included. Non-diegetic background music is being played, which sets a very calm mood. And finally, we are introduced to the main character, Forrest Gump.
