Sophies Choice

\

I watched this opening scene of Sophie's Choice as part of my research to find out what the genre convention are for the opening scenes of drama films. This opening scene reinforced my research as just like the other opening scenes it had a voice over of a character talking about his life and what was going on in the time period he is in. Also, the music in this opening was a calm, soft and slow music. This helped me research the music that I will use in The Wish List's opening scene as I know what type of music to look for. Lastly, this opening reinforced my knowledge that drama films have serious font titles, but this film is different from If I Stay as the titles are before the film title. This made me do further research. This revealed that I can either put the title for the film before the opening scene or in the opening scene as it does not matter. This is because many other drama films have the film title at the beginning and in the middle of the opening scene so I could not come to a conclusion.

i watched the opening scene of Sophie's Choice as part of my research to find out genre convections for opening scenes of drama films. Just like the other opening sequences, there was a voice over of someone talking about their like and what was happening at the current point in time. It also had soft, calm music playing in the background. This helped because i now know what type of music i will find when we come to picking the background song for our opening.
