When making an opening sequence there are nine conventions to follow which would make your sequence a high standard. These are distribution/production logo's, clue for the audience, promps for them to ask questions, an establishing shot, titles, an equilibrium or disequilibrium, establishing the theme/mood, soundtrack, and extreme close ups. We used typical conventions that are used in everyday real media products and portrayed them in a way that suited our opening sequence.
All the conventions we used were to enable the audience to understand the genre, the storyline and the characters views on what was going on, without giving too much away and making the storyline obvious. For example in bridget jones' diary, the producer/director used quite sad and dreary music to give the audience and idea that something bad has happened, to her or someone close to her. you can tel this by her body laguage, she is dressed in her pjamas watching a tv drama, drinking wine, and singing into a hair brush. this shows us ,as the audience, that she if feeling under the weather/upset. You also see many close ups to show that she is the main character, and to show how she is feeling. The titles look like they are handwriten to bring the atention to the fact that its bridget jones' "diary." Our opening sequence.
