I'm still planning timing, location, dance routine ansd costumes.
Openings I used for Deconstructions:
Stephen King's IT (1.18 minutes to 3.13 minutes on the video):
In the opening of this scene, we only see three characters, one main character and two small characters. These three characters interact with each other in the start of the film. The camera angle starts as a wide angle, looking down at the town of Derry from the cinema sign and turns into smaller angles with close up shots of some objects and two of the characters. There is no voice over, just music playing that builds tension. The only voices are the voices of the characters. There are some titles that appear over the opening scene. The colours are fairly plain and greyish, making the mood seem dark and dreary. All these things create a slightly unnerving mood, putting viewers on edge because it looks like an ordinary town but there is always the feeling that something will happen.
Jeepers Creepers 2 (0.14- 7.22):
We see four characters at the start of the film, three main characters and one small character, who each interact with each other. The camera shots and angles are a mixture of wide and long shots and smaller, close-up shots. The sounds we hear at the start are the characters talking to each other and the various sounds from the farm setting.
Love Actually (ignore the first 50 seconds):
The opening of this film is shot in an airport arrivals gate. The shots and angles used are close, personal ones showing people greeting each other. There is music in the background and a voice over, talking about the world today and love. The titles are playing over this scene and the main title of the film ‘Love Actually’ is also shown at the end of the scene. The colours are normal everyday colours. All of these things create a relaxed, happy mood and assure viewers that the film will be a happy and calm one.
The only video i couldn't find was the opening scene from FAME 2009.
This opening shows a lot of characters as students, travelling to and attending auditions. The camera angles and shots used are generally close up, small angle shots. We hear some music over the top at the start, which gradually merges into the noise and voices of the characters. There are titles playing over the scene. The main colours used are plain, school/city type colours, browns and greys. This opening creates a feel-good, relaxed mood and signifies to viewers that this film will be an enjoyable, realistic one.
