The opening sequence to Seven was in a few ways similar to my opening. Where instead of jumping straight into the story it almost teases the audience with little clues and bits of information to keep in mind whilst watching the film. The short snappy clips and fast, abrupt transitions are very typical of the triller genre and both were used in Seven and my thriller opening.

After going over the results of what people thought were the most crucial elements of making a film great. I knew I had to pay close attention to the story line, cast and suspense. Following the majority of psychological thrillers I decided to centre it around a young woman, that would immediately appeal to younger viewers, who is being followed by a dark figure and is being tormented by it. As for the cast I knew the woman had to be short, thin and look fragile/unable to protect herself. Finally for suspense I decided to really play on the psychological aspect and have the dark character appear and disappear throughout the opening sequence in order to confuse and distort the mind of the audience, drawing them into the film. Even though soundtrack wasn't particularly high on the chart of important aspects, I still wanted to make sure it was genre appropriate. After going through freesound and bensound I managed to find the perfect soundtrack piece, as well short clips to act as diagetic and non diagetic sound such as the twigs snapping when the dark character appears behind the trees and the breath as the young woman is pulled backwards.

As my film opening is a psychological thriller, my target audience is young people aged between 16 and 30. After looking into it, this is the age group most intrigued by new and exciting films and who are most likely to go and see the film in cinema as well as purchasing it after release.
