This past week, me and my partner have been brainstorming ideas for what we would like our film opening to look like. We were both lacking inspiration because we were not liking any of the ideas we were coming up with, but after asking one of our friends for help to bounce off ideas and watching some film openings, we were finally able to construct 4 ideas that we could work with to develop further.
We decided that the genres that we could end up working with could be either mystery or coming of age (or maybe even a mix of both), so we started research to help us decide which one would be best for us to use in our film and to further understand the genre and know what we should and shouldn't include.
Mystery:
Mystery films are often characterized by their representations of unsolved crimes and suspenseful plots. They include a lot of close up shots, a specific color scheme, dark lighting at times, and will sometimes mostly focus on the setting where the crime or mysterious thing happened.
Some examples of mystery films include: Knives Out, The Prestige, and The Sixth Sense.
Coming of Age:
Coming of age films are often character-driven, meaning that it focuses on the personal growth of a character transitioning from youth to adulthood. They often explore themes of self-discovery, friendship, love, and emotional growth.
Some examples of coming of age films include: The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Mean Girls, and The Outsiders.
