Conclusion of Research into opening scenes

 I think all of the scenes I chose were quite effective, one thing they all had in common was introducing at least one character more than the others, who we can assume to be the main character. This gives us more narrative as it helps us know who will be the protagonist and antagonist in the film. Even the scenes where we weren't properly introduced to anyone in particular, we still get a hint at who the main focus of the film is likely to be. For example in the horror opening scene, where we are briefly introduced to one character. 

I think that the sci-fi movie was different in the sense that we only saw one person - other than another who we saw in the distance falling through the sky. This highlighted how isolated he was in the sky and that he had nobody to help him. This is different from the other scenes as in the other ones we see quite a few different people. However the start of exclusion we only see one person so it is similar in that sense, but we are aware that there are other people around.

I think that the most successful opening scene was 'Get Out' as we got a really good introduction to the narrative, however there is still a lot of mystery and unanswered questions. For example, Who is the kidnapper? Why do they want him? Where are they going? I also liked the use of sound and camera as I described before. 

My least favourite was the 'Magnificent Seven' as I found it quite hard to realise what was happening and what the narrative was.
