Extension Exercise

1. Thomas Sutcliffe is saying that films need to be interesting they need to be able to interest their audience and grab hold of their audiences attention for a very long time and make them want to watch the film without being distracted and making them want to watch more.

2. According to the Director Jean Jacques Beineix the risks of instant arousal are that you may have to answer them later, If you give everything at the beginning you will have nothing left to offer next which will lead the audience to an instant arousal which will have to be answered to.

3. What this means is that a good beginning must have enough information to captivate its audience but should also make sure they do not know all leaving them wanting to know more and wait not letting them go into arousal.

4. The critic Stanley Kauffmann describes the classic opening as being shot in New York city from the east and a close up of a building, then goes in the building through a window then passing the receptionist to a private office and there is the actor. This opening works because the audience are told where the thing is taking place, what the occupation of the hero is but more so the organisation of the world and how everything is in place and what is expected.

5. Kyle Coopers title sequence to the film seven is so effective because it outlines how the film is going to be straight away and waking up the audience showing that it feels like a movie. It becomes the first part of the movie.

6. Orson Welles wanted to presents his film a touch of evil without credits and a title music. He wanted to quickly introduce the audience into the film without giving them time to prepare themselves. However Universal Studios were more cautious and put in a credit and music

7. "a favourite trick of film noir" means putting the end at the beginning captivating the audience from the start leaving them to question their thoughts.

8. The film shining creates suspense because the car acts like a predator catching its prey.
