Conventions of film openings
The purpose of film openings
Film openings are important, they are the first thing the
audience sees and can be a major variable in a film. They can
be used to do a lot of things like show the genre of your film or
be used to foreshadow events yet to come. Film openings
work as a platform to give credit to the people who helped
work on the film.
The first shots of the film will establish the scene influencing
the audiences opinions on the rest of the film.
