The drama genre is about a realistic and relatable as possible, and with these two elements in mind, we want to make sure we can place these in our film opening as much as possible.
When it comes to characters, there must be some type of emotional connection between them and the viewers. Especially during the beginning shots, that way the viewer feels automatically connected and is watching the character precisely between all the shots.
A relatable character is also extremely important, that is what brings the emotional connection to life. If the audience member can imagine that they are the movie and find themselves in the position of the actor, they will most likely be attracted t their well-being and decision making.
For example, in the movie Kidnap, mothers could feel extremely relatable to the main character as they see her fight for her son's life and go through the harsh process of saving him. The emotional connection is what allowed there to be a dramatic and suspenseful feeling in the movie. It also gave the mother in the film a bigger role as the hero, impacting the visual and how others perceived her.
Without a doubt, the plot has to grab the audience's attention and have them clinging on to each word. The most important aspect is to bring the story to life, have the plot be relatable and give the audience and sense of emotion when watching the film. For our film opening, we want to bring a harsh topic to life, one that opens the eyes of the viewers and have them wanting more information about it. By placing real-life situations that are covered by the media, we can create a different plot that not many are used to seeing.
