Genre conventions for our opening sequence.
In our opening sequence we included adventure, bright colors, naivety, no bad language or violence.
Quality of filming and editing.
The filming and editing are good but there is a bit in the stop motion where the background colour changes.
Mise en scene choices.
Within our shot we had a Polly Pocket doll, a pink horse toy, cereal, a chocolate bar, teddies, cups, a toy car, a rubber duck, and the actors didn't have a set costume to wear.
Is it an effective opening sequence?
Yes, because it introduces the characters, the location and the main story line.
