I found this clip by Andrew Stanton on a website called www.ted.com
I thought it might be useful and utilise it for the group film opening. The clip is centred on story telling. Stanton makes the point that the audience "wants to work for their meal", meaning, the audience wants to deduce and become a detective for the film.
The clip also stresses the importance of the writers "liking" their characters and the whole journey a characters, meaning there must be a change from the starting point and the ending point.
Even in the opening sequence, if Fatima, Tanisha, Indiya and I are able to to start a story where the opening scene presents enigma codes as to what the films about or relate ourselves with the audience. To communicate with them.
An excellent example of independent research Ryan - well done.
