Moving on to Film Openings

 Onto The Next Project: Film Openings 

   While it was extremely entertaining and enlightening to work in the realm of music marketing and a music video, it is time to move on to the next work: the next project. The next wave, next project, next big thing will be in the manifestation of a film opening project. It’s been a project that I had thought about for a very long time at this point, however, having somewhat a difficult time thinking about what exactly I wanted to work on. The genre, setting, overall story never came to mind until the project had officially begun, and almost immediately. During in which the project was beginning to become reality, I had grown heavy inspiration from Steven Spielberg’s amateur film work that would lead into the creation of Saving Private Ryan. Though the extra content of the film, I learned of how Spielberg would create war films simply using a whole arsenal of tools and pure found creativity. It is also notable to mention how during this time I had been watching different war films such as Saving Private Ryan, Dunkirk, Black Hawk Down, and 1917. I could confidently say that War films and it’s genre has been pretty well exposed to me recently; hence my inspiration to establish a war film as a film opening. 

Wanting to create a war film, naturally there is a lot to think about in a technical sense. This is especially true to establishing that my product is a war film. Since sticking with these idea, I have come to think about concepts such as costume and set design to establish the look of the film. As of writing, I continue to ponder over the best ways to establish the genre through such methods.

In a story telling perspective, the war itself will be entirely fictional, taking place in U.S. soil as this near future war zone compared to other war films. Overall I feel rather confident with this decision as the setting would be a key factor to establishing genre and how the character interacts with the setting.
