While comparing the opening of Monsters, Inc. to Inja, one of the first things that you notice is how the characters are introduced. In Monsters, Inc., the first character that is introduced comes in very quick and the dialogue takes no time to explain to us what is happening, but compared to Inja, the first character is introduced early just with a lot less dialogue. In Monsters, Inc., the setting is in what sort of looks like a film set, we don’t see anything else other than that room, while in Inja, it is all filmed outside in the fields so you don’t really have much of a sense of where it takes place at first. The shots are similar in these 2 movies but in Monsters, Inc., there are a lot more pan shots and jump cuts. I would say that the pace of Inja is a lot slower compared to Monsters, Inc. In Inja, they mostly use jump cuts between shots in the fields, but in Monsters, Inc., they use a lot more pan shots to show all of the setting that they are in. In my opinion, Monsters, Inc., starts off in a way that is more interesting, just because of the shots and dialogue, but Inja definitely has a lot more attention to detail compared to Monsters, Inc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
