What Thomas Sutcliffe meant when he said that statement was that there are so many different types of films out to get people to watch them, hence why when you make a film it needs to be different and better than the rest in order to attract its audience. It also means that doing this will be hard because there are so many films out there to compete with therefore to make yours better than the rest it has to be great. What this statement also means is the fact that most of the audience wants the beginning of the film to be entreating, to get their attention immediately and if this is not done, then this could be a big problem.
Jean Jacques Beineix says the risk of instant arousal is the fact that if you start a movie strong then you will have to question what is the next step.
A good beginning must make the audience feel that it doesn’t know nearly enough yet, and at the same time make sure that it doesn’t know too little because it makes the audience still aware of what is going on and keeps them interested. From the beginning of a film, the audience is making a very early adjustment to the film and start to judge the film from early to see whether the film will draw their full attention and whether it is the audience’s money’s worth.
Critic Stanley Kauffmann described a classic opening by beginning with an establishing shot, then a close up of the building or setting. This is because you know where it is taking place and who the hero is or was and what the organisation of the world is like at that time.
Kyle Cooper’s title sequence to the film Seven is effective because the title sequence became part of the first scene in the movie. It told you the story, it introduced you to the obsessive nature of the main character and was foreshadowing most of the things that was to come.
What Orson Welles wanted to achieve with his opening to the film A Touch of Evil was that he wanted it to be seen without the credits, without title music. He wanted to get the audience into his story without giving them time to prepare themselves. However universal studios put a score and credits in the opening scene because to them the effect of the film opening was lost.
A favourite trick of Film Noir is when the beninning is the end or is like the end, which is the trick. The audience can look ahead for what is to come.
The film opening The shining creates suspense because the camera becomes a predator to the people which creates suspence because it is as though the characters are heading in the wrong way.
