Film opening research

Good news! In the end me and Matias decided to go with drama as our genre. Also, after discussing who's idea we should use we decided that mine was a better approach but that we could integrate his ideas in as well. 

The first film opening I decided to check out was Stranger than Fiction. The movie focuses on the approach of opening the film by introducing and describing the character in detail. The movie has a narrator that talks how he brushes teeth a specific amount of times per side how he ties his tie and most importantly how he walks at a certain speed per minute which is determined by this watch that is so special to him. The movie revolves around the watch and how somehow it talks to Harold to make him the best version he can be. 

In this picture we have a look at the watch and the "captions" that tell the story of Harold's structured life. What is weird about this film opening is that they don't include the credits in the opening because of these "caption". 

In our film opening we hope to bring the approach of introducing the character well and show the interactions he has in his daily environments. We might add a narrator to leave the same cliffhanger that is very well done in this piece.

Thunderstruck

The second film I'm going to research is Thunderstruck

This film has a great inspiration in our film as the plot is similar to ours. The kid would get made fun of because he wasn't great at playing his favorite sport Basketball. When he went to a game and got chosen to play with Kevin Durant during halftime he got Kevin Durant's skills and overnight he became the basketball player at school.
