Hello Blog!
I have been researching, what makes a movie introduction exceptional? I have found a thorough website that helped me come to this conclusion: intrigue, inform, and impress.

With our film introduction, I am hoping to embody all of the techniques in the film that I have learned so far to help engage the audience. Our introduction needs to be eye-catching and I believe we can do that through close-ups of our track athlete running, closeups of arms moving fast and body moving quickly away from the camera. I hope to capture sweat dripping from our athlete's body onto the track to show the hard work and drive of athletes. We will most likely shoot in the morning or afternoon in order to get peek sunlight because it is crucial that we have bright lighting to show the elevation in mood and tone of the film as the athlete is excelling in their sport. We will most likely have a female athlete as our main character, as we take a personal look at this film, through my experiences as a female in sports.
The genre we are choosing is sports drama. Some examples of films that are sports dramas that we have researched and watched prior to this conclusion are: The Blind Side (2009), Rocky IV (1985), and 42 (2013). These movies show the emotion behind sports and more importantly the feelings of athletes in sports. For example, the plot of the movie, The Blind Side, is based on a football player who comes from a low income community or "the projects" and makes his getaway from his home life through sports. This films shows how his escape from his reality and home life was football and football is how he became a collegiate athlete. This emotion and drive are something we plan on showing in our film introduction. although, our introduction will be around 2 minutes we want to show the emotion thoroughly. We plan on really striking a nerve in a draw-dropping and interesting twist on sports. Many people see success in sports and think the athlete is okay when sometimes the mental stress is too overwhelming and that is why athletes immerse themselves completely in their sports. Sports is a stress reliever and getaway and that is something we plan to address.
Through close-up shots and crucial lighting techniques, we hope to capture the film introduction to its greatest potential.
Here is a great look into our three light point system we plan to embody.
