- pull in the viewer's attention,
- tell the genre or location of the film
- it could present the story line of the movie
- it should contain many different techniques like catchy music or fast paced editing
- most importantly the film opening should contain an element of suspense.
I will be trying to apply all these techniques into our film opening.
We'll pull in the viewer's attention by starting off with an intense fight.
The setting/location will be established in the beginning of the film opening with a drone shot of a parking lot where the fight will take place.
The story line will be presented by the end of the film opening when the injured boxer wakes up in the hospital and realizes he is going to have to heal from his injuries and train hard for his next fight and the genre, which will be action, will be introduced at the start of the film when the fight scene takes place.
We will apply the fast paced editing during the fight scene. I could even possibly add a cool catchy song during that scene and edit the fight to the beat of the song to pull in the viewer's attention more.
And lastly we will add our element of suspense during the fight and possibly the end of the film opening. We can apply suspense to the fight scene by making it unknown to who will win the fight. They could both be doing equally good until our main boxer gets knocked out. We may possibly give the feel of suspense towards the end of the film opening when the boxer opens finally opens his eyes and realizes he has to get ready for his upcoming fight. This can give off the feel of suspense since the viewers don't know what is going to happen next.
