Until this moment, this blog's purpose has been to show the preparation for this project. Reviewing some terms and techniques that I already knew, and diving deeper into their application, and of course learning new stuff, all in order to produce a two-minute film opening. I've developed a lot of filmmaking experience this school year, which I'm really excited to put into practice for this. I'm also working with a great group, and we work well with each other. Still, I believe working in a group for a small, time-sensitive project (two minutes) may bring a lot of creative differences, but if we get a cool idea, I'm sure we will create something good together.
I believe the best approach we can take is one in which we expose a context or character, as this demands the most work, making it make sense to have four heads thinking instead of just one. From the sample film openings we watched, I really liked the one of the girl in the '90s. It kind of mixes both approaches and establishes the conflict, setting, context, and, to some extent, the personality of the main character. Usually, in an actual feature film, not much is developed in two minutes of the opening, with some exceptions, of course. So, I'd like to find a middle ground. I believe establishing a clear background and even setting, or a clear character, would be great—not developing too much so it feels natural, but also getting to show something to the audience.
