So . . . Now that I'm really working on my Film Opening I have to answer one question . . . What genre should I base it on? For me there are many different options to look at. The main ones I'm interested in are Comedy, Horror (Specifically psychological horror), a coming of age story (so drama), and action. Since there are so many, I think it's important to break each down.
The first one up is Comedy. I'd like to do a comedy, but the problem with it comes with the fact that I have no ideas for what to base it off of. I could do it on something similar to the movie Elf where it tells a story, but I feel that's unoriginal. On top of that, if I want to do comedy, I'd have to ensure that it's funny which can be difficult since comedy is subjective
The next one I'm looking at is a psychological horror. I feel like this is the most likely option because I have loved psychology for as long as I can remember. Similar to comedy, I don't know what I would do for a story, but I have many different ideas, for example, I watched my friend Ariana Ippoliti's project and I was heavily inspired by it as it put viewers in the mind of a killer. I want to do something similar using extreme close-ups to make viewers become a part of the experience.
The next one is a coming-of-age story. But this one was mostly eliminated as most of those films have a getting-ready sequence as the opening WHICH MY TEACHER HAS PROHIBITED.
The last one is an action film. I think it would be really cool to have a film that opens up with a cool fight scene. The only problem is that they are high budget and if I want to do it, it would have to be done extremely well or else it would look extremely cringy. Because of this, I'm hesitant, but I still may want to do it.
I feel like I'm most likely going to end up doing a psychological horror film as there are so many ways that I could go with it, and it is something I'm heavily interested in.
