We all decided to each watch four introductions in our genre, to find a concurring similarity in between all of them. We want to do this to also to find the best ways to place our credits during the openings. My first opening was actually scary, two minutes of pure aghast just in an opening. The opening of Se7en was for sure the vibe we want to go for in our project. The low-key lighting in combination with the creepy, goosebump feeling. The titles were shown throughout the whole opening and that's what we would like to present in our opening so it doesn't play necessarily like a trailer yet ore like a film opening.
For our opening, we want to create a setting that entices the audience to keep on watching, yet has them somewhat nervous to look at the screen. The feeling of surprise and anxiety while watching the opening of a movie starts the film off on the right foot. It gives the audience a sense of emotion that they would like to feel throughout the whole film. I was searching for ways to create the perfect opening in matters of grabbing the audience's attention and I ran into this website. It explains all the elements that we were looking for, the surprise, the involvement, the cognitive dissonance. I also found this website which connected me with the idea of reaching the emotions of the audience. This is in order to have them feel an emotional connection to the character. When the audience creates an emotional connection to the main character they begin to feel the characters emotions and place themselves in the situation the character is going through. The reason for its importance is that throughout the film the audience will be more engaged and more interested in the plot. If the character they're connected to feels strongly for something they will too. They will also most likely watch all the way to the end of the film to make sure that the character reaches his/her wanted result.
