For producing our opening sequence effectively, our media class has researched and evaluated different opening sequences from different films such as 'Dirty Harry', 'The Usual Suspects' and 'Seven'. We have learnt that for an opening sequence to be successful it needs to have a range of shots and needs to look authentic for audience to be interested until the end of the media sequence. Dirty Harry was very effective as an opening sequence because it provided suspense and mystery into the plot which attracted me personally as a viewer.
Since the task includes a conversation between two people, a main importance is the topic of the conversation. It is important we include an interesting conversation at the beginning of are opening sequence so the audience can understand and are willing to watch the rest of a film and know how the story unfolds. For example 'The Usual Suspects' opening sequence includes a conversation between a victim and a murderer, the conversation they share creates confusion to why the murderer kills the victim which attracts audience to the rest of the film.
