The First Three Minutes : Seducing the Audience.
Palgrave Macmillan.
The importance of an opening sequence in any short film is discussed, using Arranged Marriage (2003) as an example. I argue that a strong opening sequence is vital to keep interest in a film going. This is possible only if a film-maker takes maximum advantage of all the tools available to them - language, gestures, non-verbal communication, camera angles, the pace of editing, the music and sound design.
