Today, Sofia, Camila, and I began discussing what area/genre we want to present in our film opening. We first decided on the plot of the movie, and we chose to utilize a band from our school named Vincent Mango. We felt we needed to know what would be the overall story of the film first because through what our teacher has taught us, the opening should be the "2+2" of the story without the 4.
At first I wanted to open the film with the band leaving a venue and we convey the background of the story through their dialogue, but my group members and I agreed that it would already introduce the band as well-known, and our goal for the film as a whole is to show how the band is trying to build their popularity while still battling with their own personal struggles.
We then agreed on opening the film with each member's personal issue separately first, then at the end of the opening have all members meet at practice, which will introduce them to the audience that they are a band and we'll then show the title of the film. Our quick way to compromise leaves me optimistic that my group and I are going to be a great team. However, this is only a rough idea for now, because at this point none of us had done extensive research.
We also decided that the genre of the film should be independent. The band that is inspiring this film is an alternative rock band, which could fall under indie music. This would make both the band and the film go hand in hand. With this kind of genre, we are able to go a more artistic route, which will make our piece more personalized but also different.
