Research

As my main research, I asked people to fill out a questionnaire which would help me to find out what people like and don't like in the opening sequence of a film.

 

This tells me that more people like the use of 'flash-forward' than dislike it, which makes me more lenient to include it in my opening sequence.

This shows me that more people like action more than any other genre, which is a good thing for me as this is my chosen genre for my final project.

The results show me that, if I was to advertise my new film to the public, the more effective way to do this would be to advertise it via a TV or cinema trailer, rather than in a magazine.

I can conclude that people find music in the opening sequence important, as opposed to not important at all, which allows me to follow my original plan of including music.

This shows me that people prefer more simple opening titles as opposed to more complex or 'busy' ones.

These results tell me that people are interested in films based on the storyline, then the trailer and genre of the film, which means I need to focus on the storyline in the opening sequence.
