Importance of film opening


Film opening scenes are the first important thing of a movie...as the start of a film it gives a complete idea to the audience the what the movie will be about...The most important thing that the opening of a film must accomplish is to establish a tone so that the audience fall into the same mood as the film they are watching. It does no€t have to be a big budget explosive opening in order to grab the audience€s attention and sometimes an over the top opening like this risks up ending the structure of the film with a sense of where do we go from here? Usually the most successful film openings bring a well developed sense of intrigue that will leave you settled into your seat desperate to know more about the story and the characters that are going to occupy your time for the next one and a half to two hours. If it is particularly inventive there will be some dramatic foreshadowing that will enable to hint you at the problems that are going to occur throughout the story (In short where the films gonna lead you).





In case if we take the opening scene above as an example...we can see that how it derives you to the idea that what the movie will be about...
