It is now time to switch my focus over to creating my film opening. Film openings are probably one of the most important parts of any movie because it is when the audience decides if they want to spend their time watching the rest of the film. Therefore, there is a lot of pressure to make sure that the opening of your film is enticing to the audience and makes them interested to find out what happens next. Andrew Stanton who is known for writing movies like Finding Nemo and Toy Story says that one of the most important parts if a story is invoking wonder.
In class, we learned that there are many ways to start a film. For your film opening you can establish tone, develop characters, establish background of the story, establish the setting, establish the type of conflict, or create mystery. Most of these opening work very well in a specific type of genre, for example creating mystery works well in horror movies.
Right now, I am still thinking with my partner about what genre we want to choose for our movie. Once we know our genre and have some idea of a storyline, we will begin our research and plan out a schedule for our project. I am excited to share my journey!!
