Initial Approach

 Before I actually start my research on the genre and specifics of my film opening, I wanted to briefly discuss my general ideas. 

Per recommendation in class, I have been watching the show Big Little Lies on HBO Max. While I am only a few episodes in, I find myself being super inspired by the style of the show. My favorite parts are how beautifully scored, the color-grading, and just overall pacing. I think the pacing style will play a role in inspiring how I pace my own film opening. 

On another note, I generally take inspiration from the "tortured artist trope." Movies like Whiplash, Black Swan, Bruised, and Fox Catcher are pretty good representation of this. I think for my film opening, I might want to make it about a story that falls under this trope. Specifically an athlete, I've always been interested in how people can become addicted to their interests - how they'll do anything for it; particularly in sports.
