Well a beginning doesn't happen in one day

So starting out today i would like to talk about film openings in my genre and how they compare and what they bring to a film as a whole, and today my example will be  Pulp Fiction opening and as well as American Beauty, also Juno, and a most recent film Lady Bird Four very good openings with a decent timespan of each other. All these films all fall under the same genre A.K.A. Drama they each have a unique and different openings they all give off some sense of reality and nothing too crazy.

So starting with the earliest Pulp Fiction. The first scene of this movie takes place in a dinner, with a conversation between two people and seeing as this was in a diner. I can't really say much about this opening other than talk about the looks of it, it was all mainly a conversation other than their hairstyle's and clothing you can tell it's more of a blast to the past film and also a sudden everyone put your hands up out of no where shock.

Next on the board Their is the opening scene of American Beauty which was fun experience to watch(shocking as well). To start this opening sequence was very funny and it had stuff that made it Seem R-Rated i never checked the rating. in this you have a girl at first talking about how pathetic her father is and then ask a guy to put him out of his misery, after it cuts to the father narrating his own life and sadly him jerking off in the shower. He talks about how unhappy him and his wife are and his wife and daughter don't seem to really like or respect him at all.

Now let's begin with the Juno opening sequence something cool i wasn't expecting like a drawn look of the main character going around her town as they are showing credits and help of the making of the movie and it's pretty much that with some background music entering a store for a pregnancy test later finding out she is pregnant.

To finally kick us off on our last film which is Lady Bird which is a movie about a catholic school girl who goes by the name of lady bird and who doesn't like her mother at all for the most part so with this opening sequence her and her mother wake up next to each other from the same bed and talk for a bit then going over to a car ride where they just got done listening to a tape then they start to talk and then start to argue to the point of where her mother starts insulting her and telling her she is gonna fail at life and then lady bird had enough and rolls out the car as it is driving skipping to a scene of her with a cast on her arm saying F*** you mom then it goes over her schools routine of first days back.

So those were pretty crazy all around but the main purpose of these are i would say for a shock purpose all of them pretty much had a what the hecky moments in my opinion and were all pretty unique i say the biggest change in each was they had less dialogue and more action as things went on

a beginning is as long as you want it to be


I'll like to talk about intended audiences members, Is there a specific watcher or audience member it's supposed to hit that is a possible yes but at the same time you could say no. I say this because of the fact that you can come to that conclusion with any type of film, it's mainly what the director wants pretty much, and how they want people to interpret their films maybe they feel something for another person in a film, or maybe even one of the side characters, this isn't a direct confrontation to the said audience member more of coincidence; But that being said there is also yea I can relate to this guy maybe a said film was based off a person actual life and that the people and him in that film went through all of it, well to make something, to maybe share a story not on purpose but through life came to the conclusion I need to get this out of me, and that they want to share this life changing event to reach out to a watcher, and maybe it helps them out in some way whether it's the main character or side character. To round off their is a multitude of reasons of what a film is intended for, maybe an audience member, maybe for self-enjoyment of their own creation.

Wow still not done with this part (beginning)

                          So picking up from where I left off I was talking about PG movies more of what all contain but I used a drama film as reference and mostly how it relates to your typical PG movie to show a difference that you the audience have most likely noticed about the different age gap of PG, and R Rated they may be the same genre but not all plays out the same(duh Marque, but keep going) so what I’m saying is PG's majority has not much into relation R Rated, but at the same time it does.


Let's see where to start... Ah I got it. Well before i get into this surprise, surprise there is a between for  PG and R but seeing as PG-13 is pretty much the same as R itself then there is  reason to talk much on it I guess you can take from what I say about a mix of both rating's. So to begin a PG-13 movie such as The Great Gatsby (low-key one of my favorite movies) this movie is about Nick Carraway the narrator to his own story and telling it piece by piece on the great man known as Gatsby and obliviously a man known as Gastby a man of fame and unknown wealth; The thing about their story is what it all leads up to so something in a film like this won't be all open and upfront obvious like your typical PG you have to make wild guesses and the film can give you vague hints as well.

the longest beginning to date

So today I would like to talk about two different things so it's a special double upload day (low-key making up for yesterday.) So let's recap a couple days before this blog I went and told you guys what me and my partner (Asa) plans are for our final project. I stated that we wanted to make something, unique, BIG! Dramatic and much more, I said something like a masterpiece, but let's favorite it, it's just another piece of art. A couple other things were genre conventions of my film and how they play out there was situations close to actual real life drama, and you can usually relate with said character as an audience member.


Now to begin I would like to go over my films genre and the types of content from kid friendly to R rated. well I’ll first start with kid friendly; My main example here would be Charlotte's Webb, and I know it showcases the animals a lot more than anything but, let's face it, it has the animals as the aspects so basically this is something i would like to talk about kids find it way more entertaining and are amused by silly impossible things such as animals talking, they also have more of a creative imagination and tend find things such as the animals communicating to whoa level you could say I don't really know to describe it, it's an exciting feeling that i haven't experienced in a while being a high school student you tend to develop a more logical way of thinking but not always the case. Now sorry for my off topic rant so more to what I was saying they can't relate to the animals in the way people usually relate to other people, but usually drama's do teach a lesson something I forgot to mention and will be more in depth later. So with that being said they can usually learn from the lesson things such as PG movies like that are usually intended more than most because people can teach through what they record, and that is the magic of the movie making process.
