Film opening ideas

Lauren and I initially wanted to base our film opening on Mr and Mrs Smith, however over the weekend I watched the film Focus again. From watching this we decided we wanted to base our film opening on the pick pocketing scene, because its an interesting scene but also a  range of shots can be used, including an establishing shot which it a key convention in in romantic crime movies.

Throughout creating our film we received frequent feedback from people of different ages, including teenaged girls so we could include our audiences interests and adapt our film to their preferences. One point of feedback we acted upon was the cutting out of dialogue. Initially we had much more dialogue between the characters, however the feedback we received told us our audience were not interested by it.
