During this lesson we watched a documentary about film openings and had to answer questions. This was done so that we could get an idea of the different ways in which we could open a film and see which ones were effective. One example of a film opening is 'Flashback' and this is when a film starts with something you would use for an ending. Other film openings are Classic - this is when the film starts with instant arousal, however instant arousal may cause high expectations and the film may need to have another thing that is good to keep the audience interested. After we watched the documentary and answered questions such as 'Why is kyle coopers title sequence to seven so effective' We watched some of the past thriller openings and saw what we could and shouldn't do.
