Film opening genres and planning

For media we have to create a film opening which is in either of the following genres: relationships,action,science fictitious or real life.

Relationships: for this we didn't want to create something that was too literal to the term relationship. The term relationship connotes to stereotypical couples of boys and girls. So we thought of different story lines for if we wanted to do this genre such as bromances or a relationship between gays or even between an owner and his pet. Under all circumstances we want to be different by expanding the genre and thinking outside of the box. Films we would like to look at to give us ideas on the subject would be p.s I love you ,500 days of summer and titanic so typical love stories so we can analyse how they have presented ,filmed and framed characters to make their love connection clear.

Action: for this genre we wanted to add a bit of creativity which we think can easily be done with special effect and also using all if our art skills for weird costumes and props. For this genre we wanted to look at typical action acts. When we thought of action we immediately thought of the old batman series we could include creativity into the film opening by making our own sound sign of things saying "pow" and "wham" in a sort of pop art technique. We then started to think about using stop motion and create a comic book sort of lay out or have scenes with sonic book images in to give you the retro action super hero feel. If we did this genre the films to look at that follow the comic subject nearly are avengers,batman and other marvel films. We'd also like to look at die hard to see some hardcore action stunts.

Science fiction: even though we want to be seen as different when presenting our film opening we want to take this subject extremely literal by using stereotypes and things the genre connotes to such as space science and really nerdy things. We would like to do something to do with either aliens or space as we think this would make an interesting film opening. If we did this genre we would have to really consider our settings and costumes to make our genre seem obvious. We would have to look at films such as Star Wars,star trek and programmes such as the Big Bang theory. This way we can see how the setting are produced to the audience and also how they present and create a relationship between the viewers and the characters.

Real life: me and the group have took a liking to this genre as we have thought of a story line and techniques we can use to present scenes and can even indicate that "flash backs" happen. Thinking about it flashbacks could be the name of our video? Not sure yet. The story line we would like to consider is an ex mental patient. She had a diary during her time in her ward and we want to use an inner monologue to make a personal connection to the audience as the tells her story. We then want to include cut away shots if scenes she is talking about which had previously happened in her ward. We would also like to have another character who is her counciler. This means the audience can maybe see the story through two perspectives and give out story more depth and meaning. If we did choose this genre we would have to look at programmes such as my mad fat diary and films such as Bridget jones diary or diary of a wimpy kid so we can see how they have made it clear that the events are part of a personal book written by the main characters.
