Hello Again Blog!
This week my group and I have further developed our idea for the film opening. We’re going to do a coming-of-age film as we’ve discussed in past blogs, but we are taking a different direction as to what we want to do with this project. Originally, we have thought about doing something with somebody driving down the street however we thought about it, and this might be a little difficult to execute. So, we had a better idea that were all a lot more excited. Our film opening is going to be about this nerdy misunderstood kid who often fantasize about the fantasy world. He would love to be part of it, and he often draws people from his real life as fantasy characters in his comics. He is in love with a girl that lives across the street from him, but sadly she is in a relationship with the person who bullies him. Our film opening is going to be a series of shots back-and-forth between our artistic guy and our main bully. The artistic guy is in his room, coloring artwork and listening to music while his bully is driving down the street going to pick up his girlfriend.
Something that we’re really excited to try is doing cross cutting to show how about the guy and the bully are doing things at the same time. Cross cutting is film is when in editing it cuts back-and-forth between two events that are usually happening at the same time. This is to show that both of these things are happening at the same time, and they’re probably connected. We want to start as both the bully and our main character turn to listen to the same song while credits are rolling and they’re both doing separate activities until they come together at the end of our film opening.
Here’s an example of some films that use cross cutting:
Top Gun:
Interstellar:
We’re excited to further develop this idea even more! Stay tuned to find out how it’s going, until next time.
