Upon completion of the music video/marketing campaign project, I am left with many inspirations and determination to create a piece reflecting my personal visions and my improvements in cinematography, directing, editing, and especially production. I feel previous projects lacked some versatility in cinematography and production where I could have improved with using various settings, design and props, and in shots, angles, and camera movement. Therefore, I hope to see much improvement in this upcoming project.
Already, I have some ideas as how to approach improvements for the film opening - I am mainly interested in researching types of character v. character, nature, supernatural, or society, especially revolving around conflict generally applicable to any genre that I focus the story around, or within establishing background and setting within dystopian or utopian genres, some of my favorites. Additionally, establishing tone primarily has become a favorite interest because of the versatility it has in opening possibilities, or within the visions I have in mind.
Some inspirations towards establishing tone, conflict, and setting is the film openings of Raging Bull for its still shot, internal movement, and colorization in black and white versus the alarming red title. Also, there is Scream's opening through alluding to conflict but mainly establishing tone through alarmingly increasing sounds of popcorn steaming, long shots contrasting quick cuts.
I hope to be able to follow set schedules to easily time manage and complete the aspects of the project with time to spare and revise. I am already pretty excited for this project and how I can express my creativity and full control of the piece, with ideas for openings already in place which I will discuss numerous opening ideas within the next post and decide the route/opening I want to take.
