Conventions Of Film Openings

  • Names of the cast & director
  • Name of film
  • Production/distribution logos
  • Graphics
  • Music/Soundtrack
  • Action that hooks the audience  
Examples

Psycho (1960) 

How Psycho demonstrates the production/distribution logo in a classic way through the opening.

How Psycho shows the title in the opening; a simple yet bold and eye catching title (colour contrast in background and font).

This is the first insight of action in Psycho that hooks the audiences attention (the time helps set the scene and the man and woman in the hotel bedroom automatically jumps int o the action).
