Evaluation: Question 1

The purpose a film opening is to engage the audience to continue to watch more of the film, a film opening should show the main characters and genre of the movie. Directors can do this in the following ways 

- Flash backs. This gives the audience information of key events that is usually unraveled throughout the movie.

- Panning of landscape. This is used to set the scene and gives the audience an idea of where the film is set.

- Narrations . This can give the audience more detail into the movie.

- A chase/ fight. Straight away this can draw the audience into the movie because of the action.

- Tittle sequences. This gives the audience knowledge of who is involved with the movie and what known characters are featured.

In the opening of 'attack the block' there is a shot of the sky which then follows down, showing a shot of  a train station and the road zooming in until we get a shot of a main character coming out of the station.

For our opening we used this technique to show the location of our film letting the audience know where  the movie is being filmed. showing the outside of the building leading into a corridoor and finally into the main characters room.

The conventions of a tittle sequence always feature the distribution and production company, this lets the audience know who was involved in the making and advertising of the movie. We used the standard conventions of a tittle sequence by following the order of them, with distribution first and production second.

To make the tittles more interesting and relatable to the film we used a crackle effect on the tittles to relate to our psychological thriller where the girl is challenged by her split personality with causes torment and distress.
