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.

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. Stereotypes in this genre is in the horror genre but put into a comedic way.  Sci-fi - a form of fiction that deals principally with the impact of actual or im...

Opening scene

 In class, we learned about different film openings. For example there is Flashbacks, Flash forward, Dreams, etc. The opening scene in a film is the most important part because it has to hook your audience to watch your film. The opening scene also gives some information about what the audience might see during the film. This keeps them curious and wanting to know more about the film.  What is an opening scene? An opening scene is how the movie basically gives information about what’s going to happen during the film. Sometimes the opening scene shows death, lovers coming together or lovers having relationship problems, potential marriage, etc. In opening scenes it also shows the character(s) you should be focusing on the most.  What is an opening scene?

Cinematography

 Cinematography  In class we learned about cinematography. From just looking at the word I thought it was going to be hard. It wasn't that hard to understand but it was kind of easy to understand. Cinematography is the art and technology of motion picture photography. So its mostly about the cameras movement, angles, and shots and what they are used for in general . Shots There are many type of camera shots but I won't talk about all I will just give a couple basic ones. First we got a Close up shot which is where the frame has just the head or face of the character in the screen. Its mostly used to show the emotion of the characters. Next we have a Long Shot which's shows the character form top to bottom without filling the screen. This shot is used to set the scene and the characters place in that scene. The last one I will give is Full Shot which is where the camera shows the character from top to bottom filling the frame. Its used to show more action rather than showing...
