Intitial Idea for Opening Sequence

Our intial idea for our opening sequence is to follow the genre of thriller. The main reason we have chosen this genre is because our main goal is to entice the audience into watching the rest of the film, we will achieve this through creating tension and enigmas throughout the opening sequence. We feel that films with a thriller genre successfully create enigmas more than any other genre of film, therefore this is the genre we want to follow. We have also decided on thriller as we feel that this is one of the most popular genres watched by teenagers; who is the target audience we are planning to aim our opening sequence at.

An attention grabbing atmosphere also needs to be created at the opening sequence, to again keep the audience 'glued' to the film. This atmosphere can be created through the characters, lighting, camera shots, location, music and dialogue, and as a group we feel that a film based in the genre of horror will be able to grow on these aspects the most, and so therefore alluring the audience into wanting to watch more.
