Examples of Opening Sequences

Zodiac



Whats are director's aims?
To make the audience get a little idea of what the movie is based on
as you see the father and son it shows you a little info on the genre.
but i keeps the audience thinking on "what next?" And the genre he makes the
audience he think it is , isnt what it really is. Its A Thriller

What are the audience thinking, wondering, feeling, asking?
Audience is wondering what kind of dad is he? Thinking any normal father would
sent their son off like that its the usual but then its also got the audience thinking is this father experienced.
It makes the audience feel comfortable and just seeing the father to son relationship happening their
of father dropping son to school and telling him to be good in school. But thats what the director wants us to think thats its a very nice movie when it isnt.

How does this engage the audience?
It engages the audience because its something parents with kids would do in everyday life
its the usual to engage with. It put you behind the fathers seat and lets audience feel involved in the
communication happening and when the father sends of his son the camera positions right next to the father
which surely engages us as the audience.
