We decided to ask this question because it was important that the audience recognize the genre of the opening sequence. If the audience understood that it was a genre then our sequenced would follow together and be continuous rather than complicating the audience with a mix set of genres. Also we wanted to see if our sequence fitted the genre that it had thriller elements included.
The choice of music was important is our sequence as it needed to fit into the moves and actions to what was happening. We wanted the music to fit into the thriller conventions so that it was correct and made the elements of our sequence more suspense. The music was to create a build up of tension as there was no dialogue it was important to find the right music which would be used continuously throughout the sequence.
It was important to use talented actors that were professional and could play the parts well. If the actors were not up to the job and acted poorly that would reflect badly on the whole sequence. To make our product realistic the actors had to be capable of acting well that is why we chose drama students which reflected positively on the outcome as the majority of people who we asked felt the actors played the parts well and could see the genre thriller involved.
It is important to see what quality the audience rates our sequence out of to see whether it was a success or not. Whether it was poor, medium or low will determine how well we produced our sequence and whether the audience thought it looked professional. It is important to get the opinions of the audience as they determine whether the sequence is a success or not.
