What Defines a Trailer Opening
A film opening is essentially the pre-narrative to the film that we see before we actually start the film. The short sequence is often used to start off the film by portraying the films genre and conventions through the usage of visuals, text or portrayed context. This opening cinematic has to intrigue people into the story or set the scene to be considered effective.
