1. What Thomas Sutcliffe means is that when an audience is watching a film they should be fully focused on only that. The film should be so incising that it grabs their attention straight away and are eager to want to watch more.
2. Some of the risks of instant arousal are you might have to answer them later, immediate action is good however later during the film you will have less to offer which might disappoint the audience and this also might mean the story line won't be as strong as expected.
3. Reasons for this is because at the start of a movie, you want the audience to feel engaged and like they're beginning to understand the plot, but you also don't want to give too much away, you want them to be curious and to want to find out more not for them to feel bored as the film is less likely to get good responses.
4. Critic Stanley Kauffmann describes the classic opening being shot in New York with a close up of a building, you are then lead through a window, pass the receptionist and there you find your actor. I believe this opening works because it introduces the audience to the location/setting first then what is to happen next so the actor and where he is and so on.
5. The title sequence of 'Seven' by Kyle Cooper was so effective because it is very straightforward and starts the plot as soon as it starts, this also helps to expand the audiences imagination.
6.Orson Welles wanted to make his film without any credits or opening music. This is because he didn’t want the audience to have time to prepare and be introduced to the movie and plot like usual. But because this was rarely done, Universal Studios were more worried as to if people would warm to it or not.
7. 'A favourite trick of film noir' is a very interesting tequnique where the ending of the film is placed in the beginning instead.
8. The opening of The Shining creates suspense as the audience follow the car which is acting as the predator and the camera's different uses helps this to come across to the audience.
