This post is simply a list of codes and conventions that we will feature in our film opening along with the effect they give:
Sport orientated- Instantly by making our opening sports orientated the audience will know that it will be based around sport. This will also give our film opening a more niche audience due to the context and genre.
Focuses on the main character specifically
The film is mainly based on the protagonist specifically and does not really divert off the main characters story. This is to try and create an implied relationship for the protagonist and the audience so the audience feel connected to the main character and follow him on his journey and may feel sympathy for him.
Use of flashbacks
The use of flashbacks is a key convention in our opening as it highlights previous events that link in with the current events going on. They give a good affect because they emphasise a point from the past either to show struggle, pain or motivation etc.
Use of speech or music (non-diegetic) during the opening
The use of non diegetic sound was a typical feature when we were analysing other films from the same genre. It can highlight the tension or isolation of the protagonist and help portray there mood that they are in.
This list of codes and conventions of our genre has helped and influenced us to gain an understanding of the direction were going in with our script, ideas and early planning stages.
