We hoped that our audience would be drawn in by our enigma that we created in our film opening, we created a situation that leaves the audience with many questions that would only be answered by continuing to watch the film. For example most episodes of The Walking Dead start with an enigma that sets up the rest of the episode before going to the title sequence, we aimed to recreate something like this but instead having a more of a film theme to it rather than a TV show.
The conventions we have used include - dark and gloomy colours, tense music, enigma, danger or uneasy feeling, secluded and isolated location. These conventions were all utilised and therefore gives off a very strong feeling of the genre we've aimed for and it makes it seem like a very effective piece when all of them are used. The music we found for our opening was on a non lisence music website which was fortunate for us because we quickly found a piece of music that fit our film opening very well. Once we added then music we started to edit around it, but having the cuts happen when there is a music sting and it makes it look much more professional and effective.
The unique selling point to our film is that since our supposed antagonist was revealed in the opening, it would be largely ineffective to have the story about people trying to catch him, instead the point of view is from the captive of the antagonist and how is dealing with being kidnapped and how is going to get out safely. Since the opening clearly shows that the captive is in immediate danger, it creates an enigma as to how he is going to get out from such a compromising position.
