 Hey bloggers,

    As we begin to enter the process of recording our movie opening, a decision has to be made on what it will be about. Numerous ideas have circulated between the three of us, including one centered around basketball, another about wandering around the city. We are leaning towards a video that will be centered around a day in the life of an unhappy individual who masks their feelings behind their smile. As of right now, this is our thought process, however, we may find an idea that is better or more convenient.

    In terms of genres, we had a pool to choices to choose from. We ended up narrowing the choices down to the ones that we felt best suited us and ones that we felt comfortable doing, which were comedy, drama and sports. Our first consideration for our film was comedy, as we felt/feel we have the perfect tools to make it as entertaining as possible. Antwan and Gallarde are very amusing people so it would be perfect. Comedies, in my opinion, bring out someones true personality and allows them to express themselves in a humorous way. Making the audience laugh is an intriguing thought as it may distract them from whatever is going on with them on a personal level. A con with comedies is finding the right people who will actually amuse the audience instead of instilling an awkward vibe throughout the movie.

    A drama is also an option that we are considering as we could document the struggles that someone could be going through. Drama’s are a great way to express a characters emotions in a melancholy way as the character experiences a tough period or moment in their life. Drama movies may also help the audience grow closer with their loved ones, which in turn may increase their happiness. The last one in the pool of options we have considered is sports. All though quite generic, the sports genre could be assembled into quite an entertaining opening. The bouncing crowd, the sounds of the grass playing soccer, the squeakiness of shoes on a basketball court, the sound of the bat hitting the ball. Many to choose from. However, as stated before, sports is quite generic so we might opt for another genre.
