Trailer Vs Opening sequence research
An opening sequence sets the tone for the whole film and gives you a first impression of the main character or characters that will appear throughout the film. It always or nearly always involves a set of titles and the main title. It doesn't always have to be in a chronological order and can be distorted clips of various events which leaves the audience wondering what is going on. It has to be gripping so that people continue watching although it doesn't usually involve a lot of action but is tense.
Trailers feed the audience information about the film, who the main stars are, the narrative and what type of genre it is. They consist of clips of a various collation of clips from the most exciting part of the film in order to grab the audiences attention in a short amount of time.They create a certain mood which triggers interest and anticipation. The extracts are usually short and so a lot of footage is used and edited together in a way which is fast paced, building tension for it to suddenly disappear once the trailer has ended and this makes the audience want to watch the film.
