Initiation

        Today marks an important day in our production: the first one. On this day, thanks to this guide, I finally figured out how to create a nice template for this blog. My group members and I decided to brainstorm ideas for our film opening. We researched a list of the most popular genres, which can be seen here, to determine which ones would be the most appealing to our target audience. Since adventures are on the top of the list, we decided to create a movie based on unsolved mysteries. We went from crime as we gained inspiration from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, to a historical mystery like Amelia Earhart. We want to create a varied character base in order to reflect the cultural diversity that is seen in South Florida.
       To try and figure ou the overall tone of our films, we decided to list our favorite movies and see how we can incorporate our favorite elements into the opening. For example, my favorite movie is Silence of the Lambs. In this video, the narrator describes visual elements and shots and angles that create the overall mysterious and ominous tone of the movie. My group members prefer romantic movies such as Titanic and The Notebook, so we might involve romanticism as well. After discussing our brainstorm ideas for about half an hour, we still did not come up with a film opening nor a list of those who will participate in the video, however we have an idea of what we elements we want to include in this project.
