Additional Research for Film Opening

While I was surfing the web I came upon a website written by a Sony Pictures script reader/ story analyst that stated ways of creating an efficient film opening. Below, I attached a sample of the article, it explains the film opening of the movie "The Big Chill". This example is helpful because it is from the same movie genre we are working with, therefore we can use some ideas that were used in creating this film's opening.

This article had helpful tips of how to create a film opening and the components needed. Some of the main components are introducing the main characters, setting, and date. For our film opening we decided that will be explaining the main conflict of the drama, as well as focussing on introducing the  main characters.
