There are 10 main things that opening sequences should contain and achieve..
- introduce the characters, location & time
- engage and captivate the audience
- show the core themes and signify the genre
- introduce the narrative structure
- generic conventions to satisfy audience expectations of genre/director/actors
- establish iconography that will continue throughout the film
- be able to dictate the pace of the film
- credits/titles
- soundtrack that establishes the genre and mood and creates a sound that is recognisable as that film (with motifs that will be used throughout the film)
- give clues that will relate to the future story
