What does Thomas Sutcliffe mean when he says "films need to seduce their audience into long term commitment while there are many types of seduction the temptation to go for instant arousal is almost irresistible" =If it doesn't give you a hard on in the first five minutes throw the damn thing away!!
According to the director Jean Jacques Beineiux what are the risks of instant arousal
=You have to wait and nourish desire. if you start strong the question is where will you go? there is a risk that you will never answer the question that is establish in the title sequence.
Explain why "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"
= Got to give enough to keep the audience interested
= Films began with an establishing shot usually seen from east. Then a close up of a building. The camera moves up and in the window. Past a receptionist then into the office. This is effective as it shows where he is, the occupation of him and more than that the organisation on the world.
Why is Kyle Cooper's title sequence to the film Seven so effective?
= Because it told the story. It introduced the audience to the obsessive nature of the films main character. Then foreshadowed things that were going to happen later.
6) What did Orsen Welles want to achieve with his opening to the film 'A Touch of Evil'? What did universal then do to it?
= He intended it to show the film without title music. He wanted to plunge the audience in to the story without giving them time to prepare themselves. The studio being more cautious put a score and credits on; the effect was lost. They didn't understand the vision. ]
What is meant by "favourite trick of film noir"?
= Showing the end at the beginning, looking ahead at what's to come
How does the opening of the shining create suspense?
