Openings for the Review - Laura

Here is the opening paragraph of the review of Zero Dark Thirty from Little White Lies
"On 1 May, 2011, America finally got its bogeyman. When Kathryn Bigelow heard the news, she was ready to shoot Bin Laden herself, primed for a film on Osama’s escape from the battle of Tora Bora. Zero Dark Thirty is her rapid response."
We could start our review like this, having made sure during filming (despite filming on different days) that the iphone date always stayed on the 6^th December, we could use a similar opening. “On the 6^th of December Sam made a decision that would change his life. He made the decision to make a phonecall that may finally allow his to escape the domestic abuse he is suffering in his relationship…”. However, with our film being based around such a serious issue, we felt that this was quite a clichéd opening, representing a different genre such as a thriller.
This is an opening that I much prefer in the reviews that I have been studying, for the film 
"David Cronenberg’s son makes his directorial debut with a fascinating, icky take
on celebrity obsession that he just can't quite stretch over feature length."
I like the use of the "directorial debut", as this is the same situation that we are in, with being A2 Media students, but the review still needs to be professional. Furthermore, the adjectives such as "icky" and "fascinating", hint at the tone of the film, and the term "celebrity obsession" shows simply what the narrative is about. Here is an opening I have compiled that, again, is similar. I much prefer this for our film as the simple one-line opening reflects the simplicity of our film.
"James Dunham and Laura Geall make their directorial debut in this gripping
representation of domestic abuse."
In our audience feedback, many of our viewers have commented positively about our opening credits sequence, saying that our main prop: the iphone, was used so simply and cleverly. In the review 'Chained', I found a paragraph where they talk about the credits sequence. I thought it was written interestingly, and could be used as a frame for a possible paragraph about our credits sequence. Here is the paragraph from the 'Chained' review...
"Whether that twist is actually necessary or relevant – and I'm still undecided – this is a bleakly claustrophobic film about the ties that bind, with a closing credits sequence that uses sound alone to summarise perfectly all the preceding tensions and ambiguities about nature and nurture."
Here is a possible paragraph for our review...
"With a clever opening credits sequence that not only heightens Amy’s possessiveness and Sam’s claustrophobia, but reminds the audience that in today’s technological society, something that allows for expression and freedom, can, in fact, be stifling."
