Watching Documentary
1) What does Thomas Sutcliffe mean when he says "Films need to seduce their audience into long term commitment. While there are many types of seduction, the temptation to go for instant arousal is almost irresistible"?
What Sutcliffe meant was that the opening of a film must grab its audience attention in order carry on watching the rest of the movie, it must be engaging and should convince then to watch the entire movie. In order to succeed in this the opening must simply be attention grabbing.
2) According to Director Jean Jacques Beineix, what are the risks of 'instant arousal'?
Jean Jacques says that the risks of 'instant arousal' is that after a strong beginning questions are raised to what happens next, because if you give everything away in the beginning then you are in a poor position to develop the plot effectively.
3) Explain why a good beginning must make the audience feel that it doesn't know nearly enough yet, and at the same time make sure that it doesn't know too little"
