Planning my Film Opening

Creating A Film Opening:

When I started this project I didn't know much about creating film opening, but after doing a lot of research I think I can create one that checks all the boxes. I started my research by looking for informative sites that explain the steps that go onto creating a film opening. Finding a good site was not very difficult a I found a very good source within minutes of looking for my research. First it is important to form an idea. Your idea will help shape the rest of your film so it's important that you pick one you can work with. The more complicated the idea, the more things can go wrong. Next, I will have to do even more research on coming of age dramas. This isn't just looking at a few opening at taking notes, it's getting a full understanding of what the task involves by looking at real examples this also includes student examples too. 

Planning:

In addition, planning is the next step in making a successful opening. It is important to go back through all your research blog posts and use the information you learned to help plan out your opening and make sure you use all the key elements and conventions. You don't want to get halfway through your project and then realize you used the wrong conventions. It's important to create a visual plan of what you want the project to look like, and not wait till the camera is in your hand to plan everything. A good way to begin visual planning is to use sticky notes to create a storyboard. This allows the person to be able to move their ideas around to really express creativity. Another important key element is logistics. A good producer needs to have management skills, and plan ahead to think about all the different things that could go wrong. As for location it's important to ensure that you have the location you want at the time you want so that nothing gets in your way while trying to film. 

Reflection:

Looking back o my research for this blog post, it was a lot more information than my others. I found that researching this topic was a combination of all my other research topics. While I could have added more points that go into planning, I decided to keep my blog a bit shorter and too the point to help focus on the key elements needed to make a good production. This blogpost didn't really give me any problems when it came to researching. I found that finding sources was very easy and they were all very thorough. I learned the importance of all the different steps that go into making a film production.
