watching documentry and answering questions

1) What Thomas Sutcliffe means when he says the film needs to seduce their audience into a long term commitment is that the film needs to draw the audience in for a period of time (possibly the whole movie) . seduce is a term that we use as another word for saying persuade
2) There are many risks of instant arousal according to jean jarques beineix l for example the audience demand to much and you have to deliver quickly, he compares it as being quick as delivering a pizza. you also need to deliver emotions, satisfaction and immediate gratification(wanting it now than later) to the largest number of people, in other words production companies will have to squeeze all the juicy bits at the beginning of the film but beineix claims that this is wrong first you must nurture you desire from there you get satisfication from the audience .
3) “a good opening must make the audience feel that it doesn’t know nearly enough yet, and at the same time make sure that it doesn’t know too little” in my opinion I belive that what this means is that film producers do not want the audience to know too much about the film because if they do then they will not be surprised they will already know what to expect. however film producers don’t want the audience to know too little because this could end up in the audience getting confused.
4) Stanley Kauffman describes a classic opening as an establishing shot of new York city usually seen from the east, close-up of a building then the camera went up the building to a window then it went into the window then past the receptionist desk to the private office, this works in creating a classic opening as you are told in this process where is the film taking place, what are the occupations of the hero.
5) Kyle coopers title was very effective in the film seven because it was like a sequence that turned the viewers to the right, because it told a story of what was going on in the film and also foreshadowed the event to come within the movie lets not forget the use of dramatic music used to emphasis the beginning of the film.
6) orsan welles wanted to achieve in his opening to the film “a touch of evil” no credits or title music he wanted to plunge the audience into his story. However universal studio on the other hand was far more cautious in the end the studio one the battle as they still kept the title music and credits.
7) Well a favourite trick of film noir is when the beginning of the film is like an ending, it’s not a beginning at all.
8) in the beginning of the film “shining” already creates suspense as it is nearly picturest, there is an easily uplifted helicopter shot but on the second screening you can see that the trees are fall of almonds, the camera pursuits the car like a predator high up and from behind already emphasizing that the person who is in the car is travelling the wrong directions. this creates allot of suspense to the audience as they will get an impression that this person is driving the wrong directions and that something bad will happen to him or her, again dragging the audience.
