From the answers we gained, our group as a whole have learned that popular and recognisable have to be action packed and instantly set the scene, with immediate suspense to instantly hook the viewers of our age group.
However these results are flawed because we didn't vary the age ranges for these questions greatly, nor did we use any girls to get an opinion from the opposite sex hence why there is a pattern in the opinions of the boys.
Common answers were 'Fast and Furious 7', and 'Se7en'. They posed many questions but also gave a lot of suspense and action in both of their opening sequences which is why they were very commonly used within our Vox Pop. We could later gain the opinions of the opposite sex and older members of the community to gain a more clear idea on what we need to do to focus or widen the sequence, what conventions to include and what conventions to leave out.
On the other hand, we did get a very good impression on what our audience are looking for in a solid and engaging opening sequence and we also have a very clear idea on which conventions we should use and avoid.
Cliches are very valuable in the opening sequences but there has to be a unique twist on those cliches I believe, and we have to be careful not to stray from the Thriller genre and use the common conventions effectively.
Editing-wise we have to find something unique that fits the sequence and catches the eye of the audience whilst taunting them with the action that our interviewees specified. We have to use a different and more creative form of typography to introduce cast whilst using some typography cliches, so this is a very specific idea that we have formed from the answers we have gained in our Vox Pop.
