In traditional movies the opening sequence is used to introduce the actors in the film, the people behind the film, like the producer and the editor, as well as those film companies that invest in the movie, like Warner Brothers. In my opening sequence I will stick to the traditional structure to therefore point out to the viewer that this is an opening sequence and not a full movie. What is also important for an opening sequence is setting up the genre of the film, which for mien is a drama action film as it is about a child being kidnapped. This genre is set up when the child is kidnapped as it is high drama and action seeing as the viewers are left wondering what will happen next and how the rest of the movie will pan out- like if she will be found. In my opening sequence, like others, I am introducing the setting as well. My film is set in Turkey and to show this I will be setting it in a Turkish market, this is so that the audience can get an idea of the culture, the types of people living there and the quality of the area. This will again add to the theme of the film and the set up.
What conventions I will stick to list:
- Credits- actors/people behind scene/investor companies
- Setting up the genre
- Building the background of the movie
- Gripping the viewer
- Introducing the main characters
However I will change some of the conventions of an opening sequence as firstly my movie is set in Turkey. Not many other films are set in Turkey which will not only intrigue people as some may not know much about the country but also encourage people to see the film as they haven't seen another film like it. Secondly I will change the conventions by making my own font for the credits. this will make the film more individual and stand out as viewers can recognise the film by its credits.
What I will change list:
- Setting it is Turkey- not many people know about it
- Font for the credits to make it stand out
