I had to come on here because I am honestly really struggling. Just a couple of days ago I said I knew what I wanted to do for my film opening, but if I am being completely honest, I have no idea what route I want to go down. Finding a genre to do my movie open on is going to be a lot harder than I ever thought it would be. At first, I wanted to go down the path of psychological thriller, however, I don’t have a clear idea of what I would even do. My plan, for now, is to watch different movies from different genres to get a feel of what I could see myself producing.
I think for now I am going to focus on what really makes an amazing film opening. So for this week, I am going to be focusing on researching through that and gaining more knowledge for this project. As I was researching this past weekend and I stumbled across this youtube video that I found to be super helpful. Through this video, I learned that it is very important that one establishes all of the elements of their movie. The film's opening should give the viewers an idea of what this movie is supposed to be about. The audience should see the main characters and details of the plot being released.
The opening of the film should set the tone for the entire plot that lay ahead. I learned that the film opening needs to be engaging, because sometimes it may seem as if the audience is just being spitballed with facts. The opening needs to play into a story that is being developed. Dialogue between different characters to establish the setting, establish time, and establish roles. This enables viewers to understand the film better moving forward. I really learned a lot from this research; I will be spending the next few days indulging in more movies for the time being.
