In class we watched a BBC documentary called "Watching : beginnings", presented by Thomas Sutcliffe, to get notes on film openings. These are quotes from successful directors about their thoughts on film openings:
Ken Loach - "the most precious moment of the whole film"
Danny Boyle - "an obligation to announce as much ambition as possible"
JJ Beneix - "make them wait - don't give them instant gratification"
Peter Bogdanovich - "get the audience on your wave length"
David Fincher's 'Se7en' opening - 'hits you over the head' as the title sequence is prefiguring the events in the film therefore the titles become part of the story.
