Our planned opening fits much of our research as the idea we had to begin with was created from these ideas.
To begin with, the opening scene fits conventions as road accidents are one of the most common forms of deaths that people will experience and it is possible that many people have experienced the danger of death. This means that we will be able to hold the audiences suspension of disbelief as it is more believable that the story would start like this. Also, we wanted to convey that this could happen to anybody as this would appeal to our audience of the middle aged as they may have experienced death at some point in their lives and so would be more empathetic towards the main character and the movie in general.
Furthermore, it fits the genre of mystery as it thrusts the audience into a scenario where the main character does not know how they died and must attempt to discover both how they died and more about themselves later on in the movie. The audience is along with this journey, following the mystery genre, appealing to anybody with an interest in it. Also, this is not the only genre involved as it also has a philosophical theme and speculative genre as the idea of a man still able to consciously exist after death is retorted by modern science and commonly not accepted. This means that the opening scene also follows these genre types.
However, as I previously mentioned, following these different genre types means that the movie becomes more accessible to a wider audience. These primarily include middle aged and intellectual thinkers of all ages that are interested in the life after death and life's 'What-ifs' as this is what our movie observes and attempts to portray. On the other hand the audience also opens itself to a much larger audience as the idea of death interests most people as most have experienced it in some form or another and allows them to contemplate what might happen after the event.
