To make my film opening convincing as a real media product I need to include:
- A key protagonist and antagonist. The two opposing protagonists and antagonists need to be clear from the very start of my film so the audience are aware of the different sides and are allowed an insight into the narrative. Almost all films of the thriller genre include an obvious protagonist and antagonist from the beginning of the film.
- I need to include titles that use the appropriate typography style to match my films genre and narrative. These titles must link in with these two things or the film opening will immediately seem unrealistic.
- My film must involve suspense and tension as these are two key elements of the thriller genre.
- My narrative will be likely to involve the antagonist making something bad happen and the protagonist having to solve this problem. This is a stock situation very typical of the thriller genre.
- The music must link in with the shots nicely to create the appropriate mood for the audience. In this case my music must be tense and eerie as I want the audience to feel suspense and worry.
- The costumes I use in my film opening should provide some insight into the characters and give a background on them. It may reflect their age, style or profession.
- If I can create one effectively then I should try and include my own ident for the very opening of my film to make it look like a real film company has produced this film. This makes the product more realistic.
- My camera angles will have to reflect the importance of the character or their role in the film. Camera angles must be used very carefully to show subtle things to the audience e.g. the characters power.
- My location must be appropriate for my opening. I'll have to film it somewhere quiet and eerie to make the audience feel tense and uncomfortable. The location is very important in setting the mood of the film.
- The audience must be made to either fear or dislike the antagonist.
