Our opening sequence is, in my opinion, a good idea. This is as it allows for conventions of the thriller genre to be put forth in the portrayal of a young girls kidnapping by mysterious figures. The concept of kidnapping a young girl has also been done in immensely successful films such as "Taken" which conveys the idea of the thriller genre as well as the possible success of the idea as "Taken" is in fact a highly talked about film and has many good aspects within.
I feel our opening can successfully build up tensions and suspense and keep the audience on the edge of their seats as things such as the music used - a combination of diagetic and non-diagetic sound - and the variance in regards the types of shots can successfully do this. Our film also allows for our audience to relate to the girl and how she is feeling as she has a hangover form the night before and as our film is aimed at teenagers and young adults, the audience can make links with themselves and Hollie, as, lets face it, most teenagers rather enjoy an alcoholic beverage or two.
The concept of Hollie being kidnapped nakes the audience question why it is in fact that she is being taken and who it is doing the kidnapping - or are tehy working for someone?
