Undecided

Yes, as the title of the post says, we are still undecided on what we want our intro to be on. And to be honest, we are all over the place. Balancing the ideas of the four has proven to be something very hard to do. When we decided that we were working together, we had an idea of a little girl looking into the future of her being a racer. We would begin the film with a bunch of shots of a car doing cool stunts, while the viewer can't see that it is a girl. Then we would cycle through shots of the little girl playing with cars and being on an arcade race game. We ditched this idea as it would most likely pass our two-minute mark and would be very hard to film, especially with the stunts we had in mind. Since then, we have bounced ideas, and have come up with a lot of different things. We had an idea of making an intro like Pulp Fiction, where the viewer gets very confused with what had just happened, but it sort of ties together after that, but again, we felt we would be restricted on time. We also thought at one point that we wanted to do horror but found that it would be very hard to instill horror in the first two minutes of a movie. We have also thought about doing a high school/coming of age movie, sort of like American Pie, but felt that it would be hard to find a lot of actors and extras to do a party scene that we wanted to do. We also thought about doing a boxing movie, where it starts off as a streetfight. That being said, we wanted to something similar to many famous sports movies that start off with the end of the movie. But instead, we wanted to make the viewer feel like it was that type of movie, but it not end up being like that. Other ideas included kidnap movie, but we decided that it would be hard to establish characters and the kidnap in the first two minutes. Of all these, I have a favorite that I can imagine perfectly and feel that would best fit our idea with no problems. I will be writing about this in my next blog post, so stay tuned.
