In some movies there can be a lot going on in just a two minute film opening. Sometimes its just filled with action but then gives a explanation later or vice versa. In the genre I want to do, there isn't really a lot of action in most cases. Most of the time it has a little action then narration or narration explain what is about to happen. For example the opening for season one on the show "On My Block" there is not a lot of action neither narration but this scene introduces the main characters and the side characters in the show. Or in the Disney Drama/ comedy " Let it shine" where the filmer uses close ups, establishing shots, master shots, to show what is happening. Although there is not a lot of action in the scene, it shows some of the main characters. Or in the 1997 movie "clueless" which does not include a lot of action but similar to other movies in my genre it does include narration. This scene includes a variety of establishing shots, and close ups to provide information on the setting. Action in opening scenes in teenagers movies may not happen a lot of the time, but giving information on the background, plot, and characters is prominent. However in the movie "Mean girls 2" the protagonist is also narrating and the filmer gives a viewpoint on her protagonist and her dad, it does include a lot of action. As you may notice these films use the exact same shots and angles 

see how both of them include establishing shots to show the location.
A lot can be going on in opening scenes. It may not be a lot of actual action but you do get a lot of insight of things that can be helpful for later.

Decision

What kind of movie am I trying to make? I want to make a drama/ comedic movie that teenagers can relate to. Movies such as mean girls where the new girl wants to fit in with the more popular girls. This happens all the time in real life, especially in high school. Or just like the 2010 movie street dreams about a teen who goes through many hardships in his life and tries to go pro in skating. Although that's not what his parents want him to do, he does it anyways since that's what he enjoys that. As a teenager your parents may want you to be a doctor, engineer, architect, or something that just makes a lot of money. Even though you may want to do something else, you feel as if you must obey your parents, which is what is happening in this movie. As I said earlier my intended audience will be teenagers because I am making something that they can relate to. I will get them to see this movie by producing something that grabs their attention. Such as leaving a cliff hanger in the b...

Case study

 This case study was a rough and vigorous task since it was very hard to retain information. The 5 parts of the case study (History/target audience, production, distribution,  marketing, cross media convergence and synergy) all of these parts make up a case study. How did I do this? Well first you get the film of your choice that relates to the genre you are doing, I chose the classic film "Mean girls" After that you start dong research on all 5 of those topics. You may be able to find a couple blogs relating on how to do and find these very few parts. But make sure your websites are credential and legit. You do not want to be using websites such as Wikipedia to gain information. This websites information can be altered by anyone who chooses to do so. Once I retained all the information from my research, I started to form my case study. You can either do a power point, word document, or a video. I chose to do a PowerPoint since it is easier to divide those 5 topics. Then you ...

 Say if me and my team are successful in convincing the production company of your choice to endorse your film. But how can you " sell" you film and make back everyone's money plus a little bit more. This is a great question to ask yourself. Well first you have to start promoting your film, you can not just drop a film without promoting . No one will know about your film if you do not promote it. The way Netflix promotes things is very unique. Say they are trying to promote a new movie coming out soon, they will put it on every single platform they can. Platforms such as Instagram, YouTube, and even Spotify. And you see or hear that ad every single time you open one of those platforms and eventually give in. With all of this promoting I am 100 percent certain that people would want to see it and share with friends and family. And with those techniques I am able to make my investors money back and even more than that. Now comes in the distribution companies. Companies such...
