6.  What type of opening sequence is it?(montage/teaser/ start of
film/establishing characters etc.)
 The type of opening sequence is Montage.
 Why have you chosen this type?
 I chose this type of opening sequence because I thought it would be more
effective and shows shorts cutting of elements of the lead up to the conflict.
 What film(s) is similar to yours?
 My potential opening sequence is similar to ‘Kidulthood’, ‘The break
up 'and ‘Half-Nelson’.

7. The structure of my opening
sequence is non-linear as it does
not have a conventional narrative
structure and is not a
contemporized modular narrative.
 Also the opening sequence of which
I can up with will consist of the
theorists Cameron ways such as
forking path and split screens.
 Levi- Strass believes the world is
described in binary opposites.
 He believed opposition offered
structure to texts including
stories, plays, books, and films
 Levi-Strauss was added into my
idea as the scene was set in the day
time and night, both indoors and
outdoors.

10.  In relation to the genre, the conventions presented are:
Conventions Explanation
Conflict/harassment- this is reinforced as there is usually conflict
due to both important and trivial matters
.This is to keep the audience on edge
whilst making it realistic.
Battle between two or more this is reinforced as the battle is between
the main character and her best friend
rivals- (indirectly) but also her boyfriend. This is
reinforced so some elements are included
so therefore my opening sequence would
be recognised as a drama.
Racial Prejudice- this is challenged as there is no racial
prejudice presented. This is reinforced
because I didn’t want my audience to think
my opening sequence is too cliché.
Discrimination- again this is challenged as there is no
battle between the classes. This is so that
is doesn’t deflect from the focus point.
Realistic Events- this is reinforced as realistic events
occur within drama films. Allowing
the audience to relate would allow
them to stay connected with my
presentation and can allow them to
express specific emotions within a
particular topic and also seeing how
others may cope with it.

11.  I would have the titles and credits which break away on screen which
highlights the drama between the two and also the clash which
makes things realistically fall apart.
This a prime example of the
Title sequences fragmenting.

12. Audience elements Explanation
Age Teenagers up until adults/ the older
generation.
Gender All Gender but preferably Females.
Ethnicity All
Interests/Hobbies Studies, possibly enjoying life as
a young person including
drinking to an extent.
Social Class Working Class/ heterosexual
