Planning for directors commentary on opening sequence (How did we attract our audience?)

Below is a rough plan made of points for our directors commentary on how we attracted our audience in our opening sequence. We plan for all, or at least most, members of our group to speak at some point during the commentary.

So, how did we attract our target audience?

Production logo- The choice for this to go first allows the audience to know who created the film, but also introduces the genre and music well.
Titles- By having the titles come in and clatter to the bottom of the screen, we thought the genre was well represented, and it also relates to the theme of drink within the film, as the clattering sounds like glass.
Music- We used Macho Man in order to add comedic effect.
Setting- We thought that the setting of  park would cause humour and confusion among the audience, and  interest them into watching the rest of the film.
Actions- The first action is Ryan falling from a tree, which we added as it was a simple and easy gimmick for us to pull of, and would also gain laughs from the target audience.
Flashbacks- We included these to give small insights into the night before in relation to where they are the next morning, without giving too much away, but still giving a comedic effect- the plan was also that after the opening sequence, the film would soon return to the party.
Taped to a tree- We included this primarily for comedic effect, but also to gain audience interest.
