Inspirational Film Openings


This film opening has given me a lot of new ideas on what I could possibly use in my two minute film opening. As similarly shown in the Lizzie McGuire film, the opening scene switches between two narratives. In Legally Blonde the scene alternates between showing the protagonist getting ready and showing the journey of a letter. Also, it builds up slight tension as we never actually see the main characters face, not until the letter everyone is signing reaches her.
It's also very girly, focusing on makeup and her painting her nails, not to mention the pink curly writing showing the names of the cast members.

In terms of using these ideas in my two minute film opening, as with all other chick flicks I will aim to use:

  1. A Girly font (soft colours with quirky, curly writing)
  2. Upbeat, cheerful music 
  3. Perhaps a voiceover from the protagonist (as shown in Confessions of a teenage drama queen)
  4. Perhaps I could also alternate between two different scenes in order to further the storyline and give the audience a wider understanding of the protagonist's life (in terms of my idea we could alternate between our intern working at Vogue then working at her actual job in tescos, serving a customer shopping).
