This week I have learnt about Opening sequence conventions and their importance in how they hook the audience in from the very beginning. I have learnt there are many factors including the film company logo, the Title, the typography, the location, the back story and the characters into making it a successful opening sequence. Films that are targeted at British Niche audiences all have similar themes; Aspiration, Race & Ethnicity, Social Class, Violence, Sexuality, Relationships, Addiction, British Politics and Immigration.
I will take this into consideration when I am making my own opening sequence and try to involve some of these themes that niche audiences love. I will also conform and include as many of the conventions as I can, to keep it an opening sequence rather than give the whole story away like a trailer would.
The texts that I have found to be most influential to the theme of British Social Realism would be Kidulthood and Snatch as they set the scene for a real Britain - gritty and run down. They don't try to glamorise the reality of everyday life and rather embrace it.
