• Typically opening sequences will establish the main characters., which I have also done so. I have shown the audience three of the most important people to the film, Millie, her mother Jessica, and her Aunt Sarah. I gave Millie the longest screen time to reflect her importance to the story.
• Sometimes, more commonly in drama films, begin to introduce the ‘journey’ or the ‘distruption’ early on too, therefore I decided to give the audience an idea as to the problem facing the main character.

• I followed the common form for the credits by superimposing the text over the video. And I also included the usual types of credits including:
• The production company
• The distribution company
• The top billed actors
• Composer
• Editor
• Director
• Producers

• I have noticed that many dramas, such as Never Let Me Go, Pride and Prejudice and About Time tend to have a handheld style as opposed to a steady camera on a tripod, which I have attempted to replicate.
• Also dramas are a reflection of reality, they have a clear sequence of events, and so I have ensured that I haven’t chronologically skipped more than a few seconds, as a jumpy and disordered sequence may suggest that the audience is watching a horror or thriller, and so would attract the wrong audience.

• The major difference between my film and conventions openings, is that I have placed an establishing style shot at the end of the sequence.
• I felt that it was appropriate to challenge the conventions of opening sequences and place this shot at the end. I think it suits this placement as I wanted to signify the beginning of the journey that Millie will now go on after discovering that her mother is missing.
