Now that the genre was officially sorted out, I felt a huge relief. I knew that this one decision would have a domino effect on making other important decisions. The next question I began to ask myself was: what makes for a well-developed film opening?
As a child of the modern age, I instinctively went straight to google and typed in "best films openings." At this point I was ready to zero in on my genre of film openings and felt that I could get inspired by any kind of film openings. I was immediately brought to this website and began watching what film.com declared the best introductions. I noticed that most of the films displayed were much older and decided to check out other websites. A pattern existed within these sites as this one also felt that older films had better film openings. I decided then to watch some of these openings and try to find a commonality between them. As I did so, I found myself getting inspired for my own opening. I knew that I would have to take this knowledge and create modern twist in order for my project to be unique and creative while still maintaining the elements of an effective introduction. My next step would be focusing on the beginnings of movies in the genre of film we are creating.
