The conventions of an opening sequence

The conventions of an opening sequence
A title sequence is the main convention which needs to be used as it shows the cast and production team for the film. The title can be a way of building up suspense and may represent the genre of the film. The beginning of an opening sequence would be a recommendation to include an establishing shot as it is used to set the scene and inform the audience where the film is taking place. An opening sequence should specifically focus on giving the audience clues on what the genre whilst establishing specific parts of the characters personality and stuff about the character in general e.g what they ware wearing. A production logos or a distribution logo is extremely essential at the start of a film as if the film has a high budget the logo will be adapted to reflect the genre and story line of the film. A fast paced scene would be useful to add a pump to the film by making it more active to enable the audience to be more engaged to carry on watching it. An opening sequence required the audience to have wonders an questions that they want to ask which would mean that the viewer would have to keep watching in order for the questions that they had in mind were able to be answered. A various amount of camera shots would be useful as it varies the techniques used to keep the audience interested. Narrations are also an easy and effective way of keeping the audience engaged, this would be used to give background information on what has been happening or who the characters are, giving the audience an insight of the film to arise awareness of everything happening or about to happen. An introduction of the characters would be useful as the audience would recognise who the main character may possibly be, who any secondary characters may be and any other characters which may be included throughout the film. Any information which may be represented in the slightest way which would allow information to be with help would be useful as it allowed the increasing of the viewers engagement as there would only be clues left by this which would leave the viewer wanting to watch the rest of the film to find out the full story.
