Planning

My partner, Ricardo, and I have been brainstorming possible genres and story lines for our film opening. Ricardo eventually brought up an idea months in development, which was a horror/ slasher film opening. We have since planned out the dialogue and the basic plot. We decided to follow less dialogue and rather talk through the film. Not only does the lack of dialogue create suspense, it also allows for mystery and audience interpretation. We are depending on the actions to tell the story.
Our script will depend mainly on actions, and we are hoping to use great symbolism in our opening to truly hint at the rest of the film. Soon, we will create our script and plan our scenes shot-by-shot. I am also looking forward towards creating visually pleasing shots, especially with great contrast and saturation. I believe that with time, effort, planning, and patience, we can create an effective and impressive film opening.
