First Impressions

We are producing the opening to a film, in which the most important thing is to grasp the attention of the viewer and keep them hooked to want to watch the rest of the film.
Usually, the film opening is also apart of the credit sequence, where the names of the actors, producers, and directors are appearing usually on the perimeters of the screen.


Image result for titanic coverThe Titanic (1997) is a dramatic film with many romantic elements. The opening scene of the Titanic is 1:22 minutes long and displays credits citing Paramount Pictures, Twentieth Century Fox, Lightstorm Entertainment, following the reveal of the title of the film behind the background of dark, deep waters. The beginning of the opening shows real footage of the ship in yellow filer footage. The opening of the film hooks its audience by making them ask themselves the questions "What comes next?", or "What happened to the ship that there are people searching the ocean floor?" Having a gripping opening like this is important to keeping the viewer interested in watching the rest of the film, instead of turning it off or leaving the theater.
