Kill Your friends- Opening Sequence

Kill Your Friends is and opening sequence created by a student, it is affective as it's not just words coming on the screen, the words are put on objects. For example a tattoo or labels on bottles, using this method is affective as it draws the audience in and makes them concerntrate more to read it.


I think this shot is affective as it's the first title and the fact that it's on a pster is affective as it looks as if it could be an advertisement for a film.


The tattoo is affective as a title as it makes the audience try harder to see what it says, it's also different and unusual as a title.

Understanding the difference between a trailer and an opening sequence

• Purpose of trailers and title sequences:

The purpose of a trailer is to persuade your audience to watch your movie, you need to get their attention and draw them in and make them want to see more and therefore encourage them to buy and watch your film. It's a bit like an advert, you are advertising your film. Whereas a title sequence is what builds the tension up before the films start and draws the audience in and has information on who had what roles in making the film.


Trailers include:

• Clips from the film.
• Mainly the best, most exciting parts.
• A voice over.
• Information (dates, actors, age rating)
• Cliffhangers, make the audience want to know what's going to happen next.
