Opening Sequence Planning - Content

Diamond 9

What I think is important to include:
I chose to put creativity as most important because the openings that interest me most in films have to be different and that is what makes people watch on. Introducing characters and setting is always fundamental to openings but doing this in an unusual way is what makes an opening stand out to others. I put ensure you audience gets it at the bottom because if you explained the whole story in the opening 2 minutes nobody would watch till the end. There has to be some confusion to intrigue a viewer into watching on.




What the exam board thinks is important to include:
I thought use a variety of camera angles would be more important to the examiner because it shows a level of skill and thought to filming. I moved ensure your audience gets it higher as well because that can demonstrate a well thought and planned plot and showing where the storyline is going. Demonstrating creativity was a lot lower as this would be less important as long as you shown certain skills. Use dialogue is at the bottom because there doesn't have to be any for the opening to be good  and at a non-professional level dialogue can lower the quality of the end result.
