Planning Start Of The Film Opening

 In this blog I will be discussing my ideas and thoughts about how I think the start of the film opening should be.

Me and my partner both agree on that we want the story to have a very mysterious vibe but we want it to start of with suspense of something scary to keep the viewers on edge right at the start of the opening. It is common for many films to start off their psychological horror film like that. They start it off with automatic suspense.

My ideas for how I would want the film to start are I want the film to start of music like the one at the beginning of "Get Out" I would like for the film to start with that music one head light with a dark figure of a person standing there and as we show you an important person to the main character the dark figure comes closer and closer until when the figure is there the person just poof disappears. I really want to do that scene as a POV so the viewers can see it in the eyes of the character. Me and my partner want that to be a flashback and we will show it by making an instantaneous cut to the main characters life. We want to keep the lighting dark and eerie to keep the mysterious vibe.

We both know this is a 2 minute film opening but we want to make sure the audience watching is watching it as if its a full on film. We want to give the audience our full and complete attention.
