Transition to Portfolio: The Beginning

To start my portfolio off, I have learned of a few different types of film openings. Some establish characters, settings, mystery, or conflict. I am currently in the process of researching examples of such film openings to get more insight on how they are filmed. 

Out of all the types of film openings, I am leaning towards either one that develops a character, or one that develops a conflict. The sample opening of Stranger Than Fiction really sparked my interest because I felt as though I was able to get to know the character in just 2 minutes. I also enjoyed the technological editing aspect of it. It gave it an unreal nature and furthered my perception of how the main character is unlike anyone I have ever seen. 

This short film opening was found on YouTube. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDwTQ57YyzI


Another film opening is one that develops conflict. I believe this type of opening has so much room to play around with and many different approaches I could take. Specifically, I am interested in either a man vs. society conflict or a man vs. man conflict. I think this is something I am able to recreate in my own environment. Although I can not realistically create a film opening similar to one as The Hunger Games, I believe the many conflicts I see in everyday school is something that I could delve into. 


This is another film opening, of the first Hunger Games movies. I found this clip on YouTube as well.
