Wow! We are really here. It is the biggest and longest project of my life but I got it no problem. Easy cheese. My plan for the film opening is to base it off the idea of a boxing match. Obviously, this falls under the action category. In an action movie all most all follow the same plot. They are are a form of escapism. There is always a protagonist (usually a well known actor) that puts themselves through a series of challenges that leads to violence, contain high speed chases, and lots of fight scenes. There are lots of guns and blood mixed with extreme stunts. The end result usually involves the protagonist coming out on top. They are usually based in well known, urban cities and span to multiple locations. During the mission, conflict with a girl usually comes in play like a damsel in distress. There is drama that builds with the protagonist that leads them to try to save the girl. The overall tempo is very fast paced, hence the genre, the opposite of boring. The protagonist usually has strong big muscles and appears likable to the audience. The antagonist in the movie usually is foreign and draws a contrast to the protagonist, although usually being muscular as well. What they believe in are usually opposites. They make the antagonist unlikeable to the audience by their actions, usually harming a loved one from the protagonist. Although they are predictable, action movies are very entertaining.
There are lots of sound and special effects creating a relationship between diegetic and non diegetic sound. There could be a fight scene with some rap/up tempo music playing in the background, or you can hear them actually fighting and hear things exploding. As far as costume design, the antagonist usually wears dark clothing and the protagonist wears bold colors, not necessarily light colors. Being said, I want to follow most of these conventions. My partner Connor and I will be the two main characters. I pride on my self on being ripped so showing off muscles in a boxing movie will be no problem. I workout at Midtown and they have boxing equipment in there. We could do some shots in there just as an idea. But to start off we want to establish the plot, know what we are gonna do in the start, middle end, and go from there. For now, this is just an intro on the genre (action) that my film opening will be under.
