My idea of an opening sequence for a gangster movie was:
- A man is sitting on his motorbike, on a street, outside a house in America. He has a remote in his hand, but the audience is un-aware as to what this remote does. Another male character leaves a house, gets into his car and begins to drive. Further down the street his car explodes. The scene fades to black as the camera zooms into a close up of the remote; revealing the button has been pressed...
My feedback:

- That the adaption of using a motorbike instead of the typical car was a good idea. The sequence also stuck to the convenions and the twist of the two characters being linked was good.
- It would be better if I changed the order of shots (shot the button being pressed, then the explosion, then the fade to black).

- It is a good opening as it sticks to the Gangster Film conventions and the storyline was intersting and makes you want to know what's going on.
- It could be improved by including more characters and explaining them a bit more (who they are and what they do).

- It's good as you don't realise the characters are related. It's also good as it is using different ideas to typical gangster films.
- It could be improved by using some different editing techniques, such as slow-motion and transitions.
To improve it, I would re-arrange the shot types by using the image of the button being pressed, then the explosion and then face it to black. As the man walks out of his house, I would use slow-motion to creat effect. I would also try to explain who the characters are a bit more and what they do.
