What I have learnt:

From researching this, I have learnt how important it is to use codes and conventions in order to inform the viewer who the audience is and engage the demographic. One way I have learnt that can be effective is the use of a sound track to reflect the nature of what you are about to see and costume to identify the characters personality and trait. Therefore, I will be including a sound track in my opening sequence and I will need to consider carefully what costumes my characters will wear in order to portray a message.

Checklist For My Opening Sequence:

• Don't reveal too much of the narrative.
• Use a catchy soundtrack to engage my audience.
• Correct institution information used.
• Make the main character the focus of the narrative.
• Film the video in landscape and not portrait as it will make it difficult to edit.
• Make the actors speak clearly and slowly to make it easy to edit and understandable.
• Stick to the 180 degree rule unless I am braking it to add effect and demonstrate confusion.
• Use close ups.
• Think about costume to represent a social group.
• Make a clear plan/storyboard.
• Make transitions seamless.
• Use Film 4 as my institution company as they are usually low budget films and bring up encouraging actors. 
• Try to include some animation in my sequence.
• Produce a script for my actors.
• Use pans to demonstrate motion.
• Create some enigma codes that will make my audience watch on.
• Produce a catchy soundtrack.
