Film opening approach

 What have I been doing for the past week and a half? Watching coming-of-age movies and film opening. As I stated in the previous blog Huge inspirations have been films like "the edge of Seventeen, spiderman, the Florida Project, and The Breakfast Club. When brainstorming our film opening we came down to 3 options. Both carry many of the same characteristics as these films. For example, for OPTION1 the film opening of "The Edge of Seventeen" begins pitch black when finally we see the title in bold letters and the music starts. We took huge inspiration from that and we wanted to do sort of the same idea with the music starting at the climax of our scene and then the title popping out in big bolded letters. In the coming-of-age genre, there is a common theme of the usage of the color yellow for the titles, this is done not only because it is a bold color but also because the color yellow represents youth, happiness, and growth, other colors that are frequently used are red and white, what all of these colors have in common is that they usually stand out compared to the poster. Another inspiration we have taken for our OPTION 2 is the Spiderman movie pause. This may be super clique and we are still in the works of brainstorming but we were thinking of starting things pretty climatic and then abruptly pausing before doing a rewind. For OPTION 3 we decided to see inspiration from movies like "Jessica Darling It List" and "16 Wishes", there is a unique transition style of editing that goes through different places of the set and it lists the names of the actors, casting directors, etc, this is accompanied by an adventurous pop song usually representing getting ready, growing up, perfect days. Of course, another option would be a combination of these things considering they all represent the youthful attention-grabbing aspect that the genre needs, it all comes down now to our finalization of what we want to do for our film opening.
