Top 3 favorite film opening scenes

 In a class discussion we talked about our top 5 favorite films. I picked Granddaddy day care, Scary movie, The trap, A haunted house 2, and Night school. All these movies are found on Netflix. So today I’ll talk about the opening scene on my top three favorite films. 

Granddaddy day care

Granddaddy day care is a comedy movie found on Netflix. It’s about a guy who wants to be a novelist but also has problems with money. His father in law needs a place to stay and him and his wife decide to let him stay as long as he needs. Needing to pay bills and find a quick way to make money he decides to start something like a day care for seniors at his house to make money off of that. Granddaddy day care opening scene showed the book that the man was thinking about and how he was having trouble trying to write it. This helped me see that him trying his best to make a perfect book meant that writing the book was important for his future and the movie will show later on why it was important to him.



Scary movie  

Scary movie is a horror comedy film also can be found on Netflix (might not be there still because Netflix has taken down some of the movies). Scary movie is a parody of movies such as scream. It’s just a movie that makes fun of how people get there self out of scary information. For example on most movies it’s would be a dumb blonde white girl getting themselves into trouble. They use this stereotype in the movie just to make people laugh and to mock the movie scream. The opening scene of scary movie was the parody of scream where the dumb blonde white girl picked up the phone and talked to ghost face on the phone. This showed me that the genre was horror comedy because scream is a horror comedy movie and it gave some funny parts while she was on the phone. Also ghost-face talking to her the phone made it seem that he was going to be in the movie a lot since it’s a parody based of scream and other movies.



The trap 

The trap is a comedy movie which like all the other movies can be found on Netflix. It’s about how a man comes back to his family restaurant and helps them since they’re struggling. His mom is in the hospital and they need money for her to do surgery, so him and his brother are selling things to help make enough money to help her. While watching the opening scene it showed how the mans life was going good and he really likes being a chef and was really good at it. Watching it made me think that him being good at cooking was very important in the movie because most of the starting was just about that. Also him being in a place that looks like a 5 star restaurant makes it seem that his cooking is that good and he is good at what he does.

Strip boarding

 Today we are going to talk about strip boarding. Strip boarding is another important key to filming our opening scene. Lets just get right into it. What is strip boarding? Strip boarding is a chart containing color coded strips each strips containing information about a shot or scene in the films script. This is also somewhat of a calendar and can help you in creating your production calendar (there will be a blog for information on production calendar). This is a very important thing to do so you can be cognizant of what's going on in each scene. It can also help you film quicker. For example, in my groups strip board we have ours color coded by location. This is a very helpful technique because it helps you make filming everything a whole lot easier. It also helps you finish off shooting locations and ensures you that you don't have to go back and forth with locations. For our opening scene we have two locations. One which may consist of one our house or just use one of our ...

Production, Distribution, exhibition

 Today in class we learned Production, Distribution, Exhibition. This should help us know what big production companies do to get their movies out there. Example of big movie companies: Walt Disney, Universal, and 20th century fox, etc.  Production    Production is how you make the film. You have to have an idea, have to write a script, control your budget. Most importantly you have to know your cast. Personally, I believe your cast has to match with each character. When the cast matches each character, they wouldn't have to think too much about acting. You also have to know your budget. The budget will show how much you can spend on everything in total that way you don't go overboard with money. With budgeting comes an investor. An investor is the person who is providing money for filming. You have to make sure that your film is fundable so that your not wasting money. You also need you producer. Your producer helps produce the film and pitches in ideas. You should ...
