We are mostly inspired by blockbuster movies such as:
Se7evn, The one that flew over a cookoo’s nest, Beautiful
mind, Momento and the Sixth sense.
Our opening sequence would be a blockbuster film because
psychological drama films would be of an interest to a wider
audience so that they get an inner insight of the psychological
problems that some people go through on an everyday basis. Which
also could relate to some of the people in the audience.
It would be global because a psychological problem is a global
everyday issue and it also links with it being a blockbuster type of
opening sequence because it is a real life issue which many people go
through.
Exhibition: because the film would be a blockbuster film it would
therefore be exhibited in the followings ways:

12. Altman
‘A set of pleasures’
Tudor
‘genre is what we collectively believe
it to be’
The opening sequence is giving
the audience pleasure by
creating a mystery and a lot of
enigma so the audience feel the
satisfaction of wanting to find
out what is happening and why
it is happening.
We only understand that it is a
psychological drama because of the
way she behaves and she see’s things
that are not there. The audience
understand its a psychological drama
because of this.
They also understand that it is a
drama because of the way it is
affecting her personal life.
