In today's video, we'll break down
the creative ways that writers and directors
set the stage for a story
and hook their audience.
And it all starts with the opening scene.
♪ Page To Script - Intro ♪
The first scene is the most valuable
real estate a film has to offer.
"- Congratulations. You got yourself caught.
- Sir? - Now onto the next step of your master plan.
- Crashing this plane."
- It should immediately hook the audience.
Perhaps the most obvious example
of how to hook an audience, well...
"- Calm down, doctor.
Now's not the time for fear."
- ...is to start with a bang...
"-...that comes later..."
Commonly used in the blockbuster action flick
the opening action sequence
is meant to grab you.
And sometimes has very little to do
with the actual plot.
Like in this opening from "The Dark Knight".
It might not move the story in a big way...
"- Where's the alarm guy? - Boss told me when the guy was done
I should take him out.
- One less share, right?
- Funny, he told me something similar.
- He what? No! No!"
- But in five pages,
we have a dynamic action sequence
and a truly memorable introduction to our villain.
"- I believe whatever doesn't kill you simply makes you...
...stranger."
"Skyfall" on the other hand
focuses on the hero.
And it does so with a 10-minute chase sequence.
[Music]
Again, it's a white knuckle sequence
that grabs you with spectacle.
"- I may have a shot.
It's not clean."
- Until our hero falls.
"- Take the shot.
Take the bloody shot."
♪ ♪
- And while we're sure Bond isn't dead
"- 007 reporting for duty."
