BLOG 12: FILM OPENER VISIONS

Hey, sunshine, welcome back to my blog! 

    Today's blog will be EXCLUSIVELY about my film opening (YES!! Finally it's my turn). I will elaborate on some of the film opening's ideas my team discussed, as well as give the advantages and disadvantages of each. With that being said, let's JUMP into today's content🦘🦘.

Horror Theme Idea

    The first idea that gets suggested is a horror-themed film opener from Little Miss Cleongy. Her idea sounds exceptionally interesting; if the film opener was to be executed properly, it might turn out to be one of the most APPEALING openers. With the eerie elements, we can easily capture the viewers attention from the scary yet thrilling atmosphere. Similarly, with this wide-ranging genre, my team can incorporate a variety of filming techniques/angles to convey the purpose of the genre (and also prove our MASTERY in media's knowledge😉). Despite that, after further discussion, we started to realize the downside of this genre; although it's an innovative idea, it requires a HIGH demand in filming skills and acting skills. The opener has to be properly recorded in order to achieve the advantages I stated; hence we could consider this as a double-edged sword (which can do more harm than good😥).

Coming-of-age Theme Idea

    Another idea that got mentioned is a coming-of-age theme. This opener prioritizes the emotional/relatable aspect rather than targeting the instinctive emotion, fear. This opener will mainly revolve around a girl who, for the first time, celebrates her birthday alone after her mom's death. We all admitted that this is a more doable genre, as the setting, props, and costumes were all prepared. Thank God! 😫 Little Miss Barbie volunteered her house as the film's setting, as her mom coincidentally celebrated her birthday recently, so we were planning to utilize those as the set's props. This makes this idea more approachable and realistic to proceed with compared to the last idea. Conversely, the storyline for this idea is a bit complicated; hence we have to plan the most OPTIMAL way to incorporate the most details while ensuring we don't exceed the time limits since this idea's ONLY strong point is the captivating storyline.
