Content
· The opening of these movies I find is what draws us into the movie and makes us want to continue watching it. It also tells us what genre the movie is going to be within these first 2 minutes.
· The soundtrack (if there is one) normally sets a mood for this movie, also makes you get an idea of what the genre is.
· The opening introduces you to the characters, so you can tell by which well known actors or actresses that are in it would then make you think whether or not the movie is going to be good, for example in Hot Fuzz, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are the main actors in this film, this assures you that this film is going to be a comedy.
· In some of the movies at the start they show credits and the title, again you can tell the movie is going to be good or not by which actors/actresses are in it, and also by what the title is can make the movie appear interesting or not to its audience.
Function
· The opening of the movie normally tells us the type of genre, it also tells us the time of day this adds to the mood of the film.
· The soundtrack at the start of the film normally links with what the film is going to be about / the genre.
· Some of the opening shots of the main character can tell us whether they play a good or bad part in the movie; this also can depend on who the actor/actress is.
Corporate Information
· The corporate information in these films tells you whether or not the film is going to be good or not, for example Hot Fuzz’s ident is Universal this is very popular in the film industry and might draw people into watching it.
What has your TAR told you about likes, dislikes and viewing habits?
My target audience from our questionnaire results said that they preferred a Romantic Comedy as their favourite film genre; this has made us chose a RomCom as our film genre.
People have said that they prefer to view their film at home, rather than going out to the cinema. They have also said that what really draws them into a film is the trailer; if the trailer looks good then they are more likely going to want to see that film. The questionnaire results also show that most people prefer films that have a soundtrack to the opening and more people also said that the beginning of the film is what draws them in and makes them want to continue watching, and that the beginning of the film is most important.

How have you used the above research to make planning decisions regarding your movie?
The content of our movie will show our main character getting out of her car and going into her house. As she’s sat reading a magazine the camera zooms and then we skip back to the past and see her sitting at work. We then go back and see her getting ready to go out, we have already found out where it is she is going to from when we skipped back to the past.
The establishing shot will start with the sky, a few credits will appear and the title will then appear, the camera will then pan down and our 2 minutes will begin, this establishing shot will automatically tell the viewers what time of day our film starts on.
