reviewing what i like in opening sequences

 From the opening sequences i have watched already, the thrillers and horrors work better, because there is something happening and actually shooting it would be interesting. While the ones that are just panning over object and set are rather dull and repetitive. 

I would like there to be some dialogue but only a couple of lines. It's easier to not have anybody speak, as in some videos the dialogue falls a little flat and the sequence would have been better of with no dialogue. I prefer there to have some non-diegtic music, but not for the whole sequence as for me i like when the music build onto the tension for whatever is happening.

I prefer the sequences with characters in them and learning something small about them, it's only a couple of minutes. This is  why i don't think too much needs to be told about the character/s but enough to keep the audience interested. 

For shots, i like a range of different lengths and angles. I think i would have most the shot mid while when a character is showing distress or an emotion to have a close up. I would prefer to also shot on a location rather in a studio, just because in the studios it's still a set, rather on location it makes the sequence for me seem more authentic.
