Film opening ideas

Me and Grace have decided that the opening scene in Mr and Mrs Smith is too hard to use for ours, as it has too much dialogue for a title sequence. We have decided to recreate the pick-pocket scene in Focus as it shows elements of our genre, whilst being interesting, entertaining and not too hard to recreate!

 In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? Above are 9 key frames from my film opening – Insiders. I will refer to them throughout my evaluation from frame 1-9, reading left to right. At the beginning of my opening, we made and edited a film ident as seen in frame 1. This ident relates to our film as the ‘clank / whoosh’ we used to suggest our film opening has an interesting story line and is different as it is not the normal jingle.

Our preliminary task involved someone opening a door, walking across a room, sitting down and exchanging a few sentences of dialogue between two people. We had to incorporate shot reverse shot, 180 degree rule and match on action, into our short film to learn how they are used. Overall I enjoyed learning about the new camera techniques and getting used to filming. I found it more difficult than I expected to stick to the rules, for instance the 180 degree rule, however in my film opening I will now know not to the 'cross the line'. Whilst doing this preliminary task we used a range of different equipment and software most of which was new to me.When film...

Genre: Romance  Romance is a genre which revolves around the two main characters being in love key themes include: tragic love, love at first sight, kissing, destructive and obsessive love.  the first romance film is said to be created in 1896, and is only 18 seconds long - this is the first movie which featured a romantic scene.  The tone can vary, whether it is happy or tragic. Romance films aim to evoke strong emotions throughout the audience.  Genre: Crime many of the first ideas of crime dramas, came from Chinese backgrounds the 1920s and 30s, are known as the golden age for crime fiction and dramas a typical plot in the golden age - a body is found, a detective is called and the police are not able to figure out what happened One of the most popular crime films is Shaw shank Redemption
