Importance of an Opening Sequence

What are the aims of an opening sequence- what does it need to achieve?

  • To establish the shot and what the film is about (the genre), this is done by mis en scene
  • Where it is set
  • Apart of the equilibrium 
  • Normally shot of something significant that happened that we need to know to understand the rest of the film
  • Introduce the protagonist
  • Engage the audience with narrative-enigma  
All of these techniques help engage the audience from the start, making them want to watch the rest of the film.
