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.

Mise-en-scene

  Mise-en-scene  In class Ive learn that mise-en-scene is to just putting the look and feel on a film. What I mean by putting the look its just means to what my audience will see such as the costume, makeup, characters, the set, etc. This makes me remember live performances because the audience gets to see the characters and their different costumes, different sets, etc. The feel of a film is just how how the film is developed and the kind of feel it give the audience. For example again a live performance its suppose to make the audience feel like they are seeing the actual film. Mise-en-scene allows the audience to experience a time or certain place using its two components design and composition.  Design and composition The two components of mise-en-scene is design and composition.

Genre

 Introduction In class we learned about genre. Genre is just a category of a film. Examples can be horror, comedy, action, romance, etc. Genre was probably the most easiest to learn because people talk about different genres everyday not only in film but also in books and other things. My personal favorite is horror comedy because while I am get scared and throwing things I also get some laughter out of it. Some types of genres can be mixed together and balanced out.  Examples Horror comedy - Literary, television, and film genre that combines comedy and horror to form horror comedy Horror comedy mixes horror with comedy to balance out the amount of laughter and the amount of thriller. Horror comedy has been around since 1920s. The first horror comedy was "One exiting night". it was directed by  D. W. Griffith.
