As ideas of our film opening progress, when it comes to narrative style, what we need to bare in mind is how our target audience will follow the story arc within the sequence. Because we as film makers already have prior knowledge on the narrative we want to tell, we need to make a point of making each aspect of our film clear to our audience. We plan to address this by having a non-diegetic voiceover to provide context and quickly establish an emotion connection between the audience and the main protagonist, as they empathise for the emotional trauma he is going through. We will also do our best to present the settings in a similarly melancholy way to the reflect the characters thoughts and feelings, while also helping to establish a mood and tone. For example, one of the shots we have in our sequence is a side on shot of our main protagonist waling from one side of the screen to the other. This has connotations of quite a clinical and two dimensional nature, which informs the audience of that particular characters persona and general outlook on life.
To conclude, throughout each stage of our development, why and how our target audience of male teenagers and young adults will react to the opening content plays a critical part in identifying both them and our film's genre. Knowing this, we can now consider all of these elements as we proceed with editing more cuts of the sequence to create a sense of professionalism within our film.
