Importance of an opening sequence

The most important part of an opening sequence of a film is

that it must be able to achieve a quality to the audience that
will keep them going throughout the whole film. The opening
of a film does not have to be the most expensive or craziest
part, it just has to be the part that the audiences attention
is on board and has the sense of whats going to happen
from here? The most successful openings are the ones that
can intrigue you and have you settled where youre sitting,
wanting to know more about the story and the characters
and to find out as much as you can. These very first few
minutes outline the filmmakers objectives and set up the
anticipations of the audience.
