We were then given the marks scheme which informed us on the key aspects that make a successful film opening.This is was surprising because things we did not expect would be important were in fact one of the top points and would achieve the higher marks. I then re-evaluated my decision and used the mark scheme as reference to develop my new diamond structure. This time I placed " creativity and originality" towards the bottom as opposed to beforehand where I had put it at the very top. I then began to think differently instead of using my personal outlook to shape my answer. This allowed me to explore each composite, learning more about its significance but also the overall outcome on the viewer.
We then were shown two very different film openings of "Submarine" and "Saving Private Ryan". There approach to hook the audience are essentially an incongruous juxtaposition but they both capture our attention equally. Submarine's is very subtle and calm, almost melancholic, but on the other hand Saving private Ryan is extremely quick paced and chaotic.
In conclusion, what effects a films performance is the very beginning, the audience can gain an insight into what the film is about and ultimately should be able to engage with the characters or setting on scene, thus watching on until the very end of the film. This is something I will need to consider when I create my own film opening sequence and ensure I base it around these key ideas to improve my mark but also the film as well.
Updated order from looking at the Mark scheme:
