Influences on our film opening

Influences

There have been many films that have influence some of the decisions we have made towards our own film. The main film that has helped us in making our film has been James Bond. The reason for this is that it has a similar narrative to our original idea so we tried to take bits from the film and encorperate it in to our own work. For example in Jams Bond films when there is a chase scene in the film the camera is always cutting back and forth from charecter to chartecter. This is what i tried to do whils editing the chase scene as it sets the pace for the whole scene and rest of the film. The reason this editing technique is effective is that it keeps the target audience interest in what is going on. If the opening scene was boring then the viewer may stop watcing before its even started.

Another common thing we found with our genre of opening scenes is that there is a lot of enigma codes left in the opening scene. This is what we tried to do with ours and that is why we left it on some form of cliffhanger.
