Research for our Opening Sequence - Kidulthood Trailer:
When you want to accomplish bringing a tough opening sequence to life and be able to branch it using three personalities in an opening sequence only worth two minutes, you've got to look at the roots of the opening sequence first and that's exactly what we, as a group, had done as we looked at the introduction of Kidulthood (which "Split" heavily takes inspiration from) and also seen important elements that we had included in our opening sequence and, more importantly, this opening sequence had elements that were also included in ours that we did not even know about so watching this was also beneficial for us knowing that we're on the right tracks with this thing right here.

Firstly, the first thing you'd notice is how there are school pupils all doing their own thing and this element had been added into our opening sequence as Bradley Keano, the main protagonist of Split, is a teenager just like the characters in Kidulthood are so school elements are also added into our sequence and a football scene is also added into the introduction which is particularly interesting because we had also included a football scene in our opening sequence meaning that football must be a popular activity for youth teenagers as "Goal", which is another movie Split takes inspiration from, also features Santiago Munez, the main character, as a teenager who manages to get in to Newcastle United so this is super beneficial for us since we wouldn't want an opening sequence with a teenager who really doesn't seem to emulate how an ordinary teenager would live such as taking hobbies, going school and also socializing with others as the Opening Sequence needs to relate to our target audience so it was important so that it could fulfil its primary purpose.
