RESEARCH: Conventions of Film Openings

          Having watched some film openings in class, I noticed the three conventions which all openings had in common which was sound. The sounds in the opening were not necessarily scary though they gave the scene an intense atmosphere. Dialogue also was used in one opening as well as the sounds. By using dialogue the audience is getting an insight of what the story line is. There are teasers in the film opening .g. a shot of someone's image being scribbled on. Although you see those kind of shots in the film hardly anything is actually given away. The titles of the film  come in different structure some are presented with a black background continuing with the horror theme and some are present like any other ordinary film. On some films and the first title displayed is the production companies IDENT, this is to increase the companies popularity then comes the actors names in order of popularity.
