The purpose of a film opening is to engage the audience, make them want to continue watching the film. An opening sequence should establish the genre these are some ways that this can be done:
- A wide landscape shot can set the scene straight away. Showing the audience where the scene is located.
- Titles, titles can show the genre of the thriller for example if it is in scary righting usually means it is a horror.
- An action scene is used a lot, this mainly consists of a fast pace chase scene, or a scene that is straight into the battle, it will then end in something bad about to happen but doesn’t actually show you which makes you want to see the rest of the film to see what happens.
- Narrations can establish the character, tell you about them, their background etc.
