Our story starts with two girls waking up very confused as the room is messy and they don't remember anything from the might before. They get up from the bed and check their phones and see many pictures of the night before with no re collection of where this "party" happened. They then see a picture of a car that looks like on of the girls dad's car and then decide to go make sure it wasn't her car. When leaving her room they see the house completely trashed with cups everywhere people sleeping in the house and in the floats in the pool, soon they come to realization that the car what's their parents and they run to the garage and the car is gone. With no clue of what they are going to do or what happened the girls are left clueless and in bit of a mess.

Tips and Tricks

   How can you catch the eye of someone that has watched a film opening thousands of times? seems hard doesn't it? 

  Film Openings are the eye catcher, with film openings many people including me decide if i want to continue watching the film or not. It is imperative to have a well developed film opening to furthermore have a well developed film. 

So here a few tips and tricks to be able to create a great film opening! 

Film openings have to be intriguing and interesting for the viewer to keep watching, since the viewer isn't really lear on what is going to happen the creator has the chance to use the element of surprise as they can provide something unexpected that creates a twist in the film and causes the viewer to keep wanting to watch. 

Here is an example..

Moreover, Film Openings also tell the viewer what and who the story is about as a introduction to a film does have to be informative for the viewer to understand the film better. Providing information about the character(s), communicate their goals, fears and more as this establishes the themes of the story.

          Within the beginning of the movie the protagonist should be introduced and the antagonist if their is one. Film openings need to be informative, clever, and be able to communicate the intended message and keep the viewer intrigued. 

Example of great film openings..

 

 

The coming together

 Finally after the struggle we choose! 

Teen comedy it is, we have come together with a story that i believe is very interesting nothing is set yet but we are getting there. 

Our story is based on two girls that had a huge party in their house when the parents weren't there. They wake up the next morning and someone is hurt and then it backtracks to the beginning of the party. This is an idea that we had nothing is settled yet, but we are excited to keep getting more ideas to add to our story and be able to develop an amazing film opening.This genre allows us to add comedy twists in the film and moreover the target audience is people our age, ultimately we know what's interesting and catches the eye of this target audience. 

Choosing Choosing Choosing

 Last blog post of genre research, finally narrowing down to two genres drama and teen comedy, I never thought choosing between two genres would be so hard. These are both very interesting genres that I would love to be able to do both; sadly that's not the case. Me and my partner are both leaning towards teen comedy as we believe we can do a better job in this genre as we have watched plenty of movies of in this genre and have more knowledge, with the skills learned in class and different skills such as creating a storyboard, knowing how to put together different shots, and being able to edit will moreover help us create a great film opening.We still aren't sure this process of choosing is very stressful as we don't want to make the wrong choice.

Very soon we will have to start creating a storyline and its imperative to have knowledge in our genre of choice as we will be working with this till the end of the portfolio project. Time goes by so fast and in the blink of an eye what started as an idea is becoming reality. I'm very invested in this project what it will become, many ideas overflowing my head and i'm ready to make it happen!

Definition and more..

Drama films are a type that depends on the passionate and social advancement of sensible characters. While Drama films depend intensely on this sort of improvement, sensational subjects assume a huge part in the plot also. Frequently, these emotional topics are taken from exceptional, genuine issues. Regardless of whether saints or courageous women are confronting a contention from an external perspective or a contention inside themselves, Drama film expects to recount a fair story of human battles.

Clips..

Me and my partner are thinking about taking the approach of doing our opening scene in the drama genre as is a genre that interest us and we strongly like these movies. In this genre there are many different branches that we can take and make our scene opening be everything and more we want. I'm very excited to see what approach we are going to take and start creating our film.

Teen Comedies

Hello..

Ana Willson here!

Finally i have started my look for the perfect genre... today me and my partner decided to research the genre of teen comedies. What exactly is teen comedies...well here is the definition. 

Teen comedies: 

Sub genre of Comedy, the genre is targeted at teenagers and young adults in which the plot is based upon the interests of teenagers.Teen comedies are often set in schools.  These interests include coming of age, first love, rebellion, conflict with parents, teen angst or alienation. Often these normally serious matters are presented in a stereotyped or trivialized way. Teen comedies are often in schools, or contain characters that are of school age

such as:

  

The genre of teen comedies is very familiar as it's what i have grown up watching, and i know much about them, especially as a teenage girl i enjoy watching such movies. This is why this could be a genre that me an my partner would be interesting in doing our opening film about.

Rebel Without A Cause

One of the first teen movies ever released was released in 1955 the name of the film was a Rebel Without A Cause, this film was successful allowing others to continue making these films. 

Teen comedies came of age in 1950 because it was not long before this that the concept of a teenager was born. The idea of an intermediate stage between childhood and adulthood, with its own particular characteristics. Just like the early teen comedies, any film in this genre made today will contain some stereotypical high school characters.
