Enigma – How did they do it? L
‘Stand by me’ - 1986 Opening Sequence
Focus on newspaper article about death
The audience will want to know why this has
been pointed out and why he is looking at this
particular article for so long.
Focus on two boys on bike, then
starts to reminisce
We see the man focus on these two
boys on the bike then start to think
which makes the audience wonder
what connection he has with them He starts telling his story which connects to the what
the newspaper article and boys on the bikes
Lastly his voice over starts talking about his life as a
young boy and seeing a dead human, which shows the
audience it connects to the article and the two boys
on the bike. This make the audience want to watch
more and find out what happened when he saw the
body and the connection to what he’s thinking about

Enigma - How did they do it? L
‘Bend it like Beckham’ - 2002 Opening Sequence
Woman play for Man Utd
The audience will get sucked
into the game they played in the
beginning of the opening
sequence and then when they
see the girl playing with them
they wonder why she's playing
Mum disapproves of her playing for Man Utd and watch more.
The audience will wonder why she's
such a good football player, but then
when you see her mum shouting and
saying ‘she needs to go back home’
the audience will realise it’s a day
dream and see that there is conflict in
her family about her dream
Shows contrast with her fantasy and real life
The audience realise she doesn't follow the
conventions of a Indian girl and want to watch
more about the differences of what her mother
wants and what she wants.
7. Kaya & Sanel
Enigma L
How are we creating enigma in our opening sequence?
• By not letting the audience know why she is walking to the forest as she falls to the
ground hopelessly without letting the audience know what she wanted to do there in
the first place and further what she would have seen in her hallucinations.
• By showing her dramatically fall to the group as a climax to the end of the opening
sequence without giving away why, what it was and if she was okay afterwards.
• The audience will want to know why she is this way, how she’s tired, dirty, bloody and
what happened wrong in her life which the flashbacks will give short clues of this.
• Showing just seconds of the flashbacks they will want to see more of what she did and
why she did them and its done in slow motion which is a side effect of LSD so the
audience can know she on drugs doing these things (in the flashbacks) which because
of the hallucinations in the opening sequence will want to see more of it in her other
‘trips’.
8. Kaya & Sanel
Enigma L
How we have improved from draft 1?
• We draw the audience into our opening sequence more this time so the
audience can feel sorry for this venerable character rather than just being
told a story
• Rather than just showing someone kidnapped like in draft one, we showed
the girls journey drawing the audiences attention in slowly building tension
• In draft 1 there was no climax, the opening sequence was just basically
informing and telling a story however now, we build up tension up to a climax
creating enigma and dropping making the audience feel uncomfortable and
wanting to watch more

Gender – Male and Female
Ethnicity – British
Location – United Kingdom

Why would our target audience be interested in our idea/plot?

• Our target audience will be interested to learn about the drug throughout the film and
interested in her hallucinations
• The film is based in modern time and youth culture, use of slang in a closed narrative so
they can connect and relate to what they see in the film and leave thinking about the
consequences
10. Kaya & Sanel
Target Audience M
Why would our target audience be interested in our film because of its form?
• The use of editing in the hallucinations will interest the target audience, they may find it
funny or remarkable
• The use of modern music through out the film will interest our target audience as the film
will seem more real which helps them connect to it
• The hidden message behind the film will interest them into seeing why the message is
there and therefore will realise there is not way out when you try drugs and not to let
their friends pressure them into using it.
Why would your target audience be interested in your film because of genre/conventions?
• Our target audience can relate to drama’s as a lot happen in growing up in the society we
live in.
• Many of the conventions in the film are very realistic which helps build climax and tension
with our target audience because they would have or will be in the same situation in their
lives
• The convention of emotion shares experience with the target audience making them feel
understood and not out casted.

Target Audience M
What feedback we received from our target audience
The majority answers
We asked 18 – 2 19 – 2 20 – 1 21 – 1
• Showing the illusions is very captivating and makes the opening sequence
and film different from others of its kind
• Sends our a good and education message
• The title is unique, sounds interesting, and they like it
• Would watch the rest of the film because of the hallucinations and to see
what happens to Laura
• They likes the location because it was familiar and makes it more relatable
• We could improve by making flashbacks longer, use a more dramatic
scene

Laura Hibbit –
What does she represent?
Laura represents a typical youth in Britain who gets
pressured by her friends to try drugs which ends up ruining
her life and her future, sending a message to the audience
that there's no easy way out of using drugs and that it will
end up killing you one day. We want the target audience to
relate to her and feel sympathy for her so she is to
represent someone they can visualise in real life.
