In this post I will be talking about the differences between an opening sequence and a trailer. The movie that I will be talking about is Se7en. opening sequences and movie trailers could be per-trade as the same thing at first glass but they are completely different ways of advertising a movie to the audience.
Opening sequences are very important to a movie because it will be the first thing the audience sees before they watch the movie on DVD or in a cinema or television suggesting that it is a crucial part of any movie. An opening sequence has to be relevant to the movie for example it has to give the viewers information but also at the same time not give to much away as the audience is yet to see the movie. It is important for the opening sequence to make the audience wonder what is to come next in the movie for example give them clues that will come in the movie and also they have to make sure that the sub titles and the music is relevant to the movie it self suggesting if the movie is a horror it will be important that the music is quite scary and the sub titles would be in certain colors like red and black.
People can often tell from an opening sequence wether a film will live up to expectations or not.
