Our film opening doesn't contain a script, because the characterisation is built up through the use of other actions - there is no actual direct contact between the two female protagonists seen within the opening, instead the audience only get to see YouTube videos which have been produced of the two of them, meaning that they are given time to make their own minds up. In this respect, not having any dialogue is a better way of keeping the audience impartial to the opposing characters of the two girls, because the Hypodermic Needle theory suggests that the audience will be influenced into liking or disliking a character for the entirety of the film based on its opening, and will perhaps take this dislike of the character away from the film and into their actual life. It is because of this that we have opted to not include any dialogue, and thus no script, in our opening.
By George Martin
