It All Begins

 Today my teacher announced we were starting our biggest project of the year. We were told that we have to create a two minute film opening for a movie that we make. I cannot explain how excited I got when I heard we were making a film opening. One of my favorite things to do is make short films, AND I GET TO DO ONE FOR AN AICE EXAM!!! But, although it seems like I'm happy, I'm actually not. I haven't made a short film in a long time, and the last few I've made haven't been the best. Hopefully I can redeem myself with this upcoming project.

So to begin the project I was told that I need to decide upon which type of film opening I want to do. As someone who is EXTREMELY indecisive, it took me a loooonngggg time to pick which type I wanted to do, but I've now narrowed it down to two options. The first of those options is tone development. As someone who loves horror, I believe that this option could work really well for me if I decide to follow that path. I would absolutely love to do something that is stylistic, but creepy that puts viewers into a state of suspense.

The other option that I'm looking into is an establishing character opening. I picture a very unique and off putting conversation where we learn a lot about an antisocial teenager talking to his brother. I believe I would be able to convey this main character as bizarre and extremely uncomfortable to add to the creepiness. This once again fits into my horror prompt, but this time with a more psychotic twist. I actually got inspiration for this from my friends project. After he showed it to me, I was obsessed with it, so I would love to do a project with a similar style.
