How Planned Opening Fits With Research

We looked at alot of opening sequences to try and get a bit more information about the codes and conventions. We noticed that almost all of the opening sequences start with and establishing shot that either pans or zooms. We also started our opening sequence of a pan of the charater Lucy's room as this is where the film starts. Also, they normally start with a sound strack or song over the top to give the audience an idea of the mood of the film. Again, we chose to put a classical sad soundtrack over our opening sequence to make the audience wonder why the character is sad which makes them want to watch on. The flash back in our story makes the narrative more exciting as it is not the classical way to start a film but this makes our opeining sequence more interesting. The main way our opening sequence fits with others is having a voice over, this gives the audience all the information they need to know and gets them more intersted into the film.
