HBO Feature Presentation: Difference between revisions

'''Open:''' On a space background with a gridded floor is several bright lights drawing in a stylized movie theater complete with a box office and a marquee with the text "'''H.B.O. FEATURE MOVIE'''" on both sides. We then zoom into a {{color|#FFD900|yellow}} star on the marquee, and the screen cuts to more bright lights drawing in the interior of the theater. As we slowly zoom in, a {{color|red}} curtain on the center rises to reveal a {{color|blue}} pair of curtains, which open as the camera zooms in and it fades to the "{{color|red|{{Font|Impact|HBO FEATURE MOVIE}}}}" text animating as usual.

'''Open:''' On a {{color|blueviolet|violet}}/white CGI background with a {{color|darkblue|dark blue}} floor is many colored shapes zooming through the screen. A black rectangle zooms in slowly and settles on a stack of other rectangles on a black base, as two more rectangles fly in and stack themselves above it, and a {{color|deeppink|hot pink}} HBO logo rises up from it. As the camera starts rotating, the {{color|gold}} words "{{color|gold|'''SPECIAL PRESENTATION'''}}" zoom out with a shadow effect and plaster themselves on the front of the base, and the camera stops on a slight angle (a la 20th Century Studios).

'''Open:''' In a widescreen effect (with the letterbox bars having a black and {{color|blue}} background) is the white words "'''FEATURE PRESENTATION'''" appear over the HBO logo, which is in one of many situations (like the ITV "Hearts" idents from the same time). For example, one scenario involves the HBO logo inside a limo with several paparazzi stumbling to get to the limo and taking several pictures. Another features the camera panning around a skyscraper to reveal the top of the skyscraper is in the shape of the HBO logo (an influence on the next logo). Finally, another one shows the HBO logo in a fish tank.

'''Open:''' There is a busy street intersection with a theater (a homage to the theater briefly shown in the 8th opening) displaying the HBO logo and the words "'''FEATURE PRESENTATION'''" on its marquee. The camera zooms into the theater, past the box office (a homage to the zooming box office from the 3rd opening) and into a bright light. After the light dims down, the camera starts zooming down a street in a residential neighborhood with cars driving and people walking about, and goes through a bridge superstructure shaped like an "'''H'''", after which it zooms down a rural highway, passing farms and such. After some fog obscures the screen is the camera zoom down a mountain road, flying over a pit, and heading down a "'''B'''" shaped tunnel. The tunnel leads to a desert road surrounded with gorges and cliffs at the other end, and the camera zooms into a truck with an "'''O'''"-shaped cylindrical tank, taking us through another transition. We end up zooming through a CGI rendering of the city from the 8th opening, then into a skyscraper-filled downtown. Passing through the buildings with a lens flare effect, the camera travels down a freeway as lights from behind several buildings quickly turn on, followed by more lights ahead of them. The camera pans and takes us into an aerial view above the clouds, and we see the spotlights outlining an HBO-logo shaped harbor. The 3D letters "'''FEATURE'''" fly in and come together over the HBO logo, and a flash below them brings forth a {{color|darkblue|dark blue}} rectangle with the word "PRESENTATION" appearing on it letter-by-letter as we tilt above the HBO-shaped harbor.

'''Open:''' We fade in to a shot of a man holding a bowl of popcorn. As the camera pans to the right is him walking towards his wife, who's snuggling up with a blanket on a sofa. In the background we can see two sets of home plants, a desk lamp, a set of magazines, and two glasses of what seems to be wine or cola. On the wall, there is a canvas print of another apartment. Below the couch, a pair of shoes are visible. The man places the popcorn on a table, settles down with his wife, and turns on the TV. As we zoom out through a window, a suitcase-style turntable can be seen. Zooming further out of the apartment, there is a few more sets of apartment complexes. Two more pairs of shoes can be seen dangling from a telephone wire. Panning further to the right, there are two streetlamps. We then zoom out from the streets into the room of two teenage siblings; an older sister and a younger brother. The wall is covered with fan posters of various celebrities. Zooming further out is the sister on her bed, and the brother on a large cushion. The brother holds a tablet towards his sister. Zooming out even further, we reach a balcony. In it, a patio table and a bicycle can be seen. As the camera zooms further out, we zoom out into the living room of another apartment complex. This scene is basically a recreation of the 8th opening, with a few modern touches added (e.g. cushion couches on a rug next to a flat-screen TV, which is showing a portion of the 8th opening (the part where we zoom into the "'''O'''"). As we zoom out again, it is noticeable that the apartment complex is actually a home, nested on a floating brick lawn. More apartments and condominiums are nested next to the home. We zoom in to the living room of yet another apartment. The first thing shown is its flat-screen TV, which is also showing the 8th opening. In it, a group of college students are seen on a couch, with one of them serving a snack to another. As we zoom out yet again, a man holding a phone can be seen on the balcony of yet another apartment. After that, the camera zooms out further and further. It is then revealed that the city is inside the HBO logo, set over a dark sky background on a flat grassy plain, with a river shown beside it. The words "MOVIE PREMIERE" are seen below the logo. At this point, everything shown inside the towering logo is no longer noticeable in detail.
