Constructing an opening

My Opening

A girl is searching round the college trying to find her friends. She ends up falling up the stairs and lands at the feet of the leader of the college's bad boys. He surprises her by helping her to her feet, making sure she is okay and asking her out on a date. She is unsure whether to accept or not due to the rumours she has heard about him. 

How it engages my audience 

My opening engages my audience because it is based in a place recognisable to most people and is about a topic that many people will have either dealt with or will have seen people dealing with. My opening creates enigma codes such as, Who is the Boy and what has he done to get this bad reputation from?, it also creates questions that will last throughout the whole film such as, Will the get together? and Will she ever fall in love with him?. 
The opening will also engage my audience because there is a crisis involved and people will want to see if the crisis can be resolved and see if what they want to happen will actually happen this keeps them watching and it keeps them engaged with the film as it continues.
My opening contains convention that would normally be found in a romance film. I will establish who my main characters are to allow the audience to understand who the film is about and how they have met, this allows that audience to really get involved in the relationship between the characters as they are watching the relationship between the 2 main characters grow
