The watching

Ken Loach- " the opening of a film is the most precious moment of the whole film"

Danny Boyle- " announce as much ambition as possible in the opening of the film"

John schlesinger- "a good sharp shock"

J.J Beneix- "make them wait- don't give them instant gratification

Thomas Sutcliffe- "a good beginning must make the audience feel that it doesn't know nearly enough yet, but at the same time that they don't know too little"

Le Conte- setting the tone

Peter Bogdanovich- " get the audience on your wavelength"

David Finchers 'Sev7n'- in title sequence it prefigures events in the film- titles become part of the story.
