'Watching' Documentary.

Se7en poser.

1. "Films need to seduce their audience into long term commitment. Where there are many types of seduction, the temptation to go for instant arousal is almost irresistible".  
   What Thomas Sutcliffe means is that if your first page of the book doesn't give satisfy the audience, you should throw the damn book in the trash. Sutcliffe quoted Sam Fuller, a writer and director. You must grab the audiences attention at the very beginning of the film and that's what film makers are trying to achieve today.

2.  According to Jean Jacques Beineix, the risk of 'instant arousal' is that you must nurse your audience into their desires of the movie, accept to wait and let the sanctification grown. If you start strong, your have the problem of what's going to happen next, is it going to be strong as the beginning?
   
   
3. "a good beginning must make the audience feel that it doesnt know nearly enough yet, and as the same time make sure it doesn't know too little". This means, as a film maker you must draw the rules up for audiences engagement to the film, the crowd is full of anxiety and you must make the relationship of the audience and the film last but not give away everything but still make them wanting for more!
   
   
4. Stanley Kauffmann describe a Classic opening as "an establishing shot - New York - filmed from East side of New York, cross into a shot of a building, camera looks up to buliding, goes through the window, pass the reception desk". You have been told by this simple classic opening process the location, occupation of the hero and everything is in place. That's why it works so well!
   
   
5. Kyle Cooper's title sequence to the film Seven was effective because the sequence waked up and hit the audience, the title sequence also foreshadows and told the story of the film.
   
   
   
6. What Orson Welles wanted to achieve with his opening, A Touch of Evil is making the audience head straight into the film with no credits, title or production company logo. This upset the production studios and they took action.
