Genre Planning

I have multiple ideas for what i want this project to look like but I'm having trouble pin pointing what type of genre it is under. Since i am struggling with what genre these ideas might be i am just going to talk about it and see if i see anything in common with said genres but all the films I've researched have fallen under one genre, romance, but that usually retains to the plot of the film not just the opening but i don't know.  Ive been researching different film openings.

 One film opening i love is Priscilla (2023) Directed by Sofia Coppola: Priscilla Opening

I love so many things about this opening. It shows setting and some context on where the film is and who it is about. It shows close ups her getting ready and then cuts to a credit then some setting shots and then more credits. I like how simple but beautiful this opening is. It makes me wonder if i want to make a opening set in a different era. If i were to do that for this opening i would set it in the 70's era. Im really inspired by her approach of showing so much with such simple scenes.


I also watched the opening for Ladybird (2017) Directed by Greta Gerwig.


I love the style of this film. I love the coloring and how well it established the setting of the catholic school. It also establishes character. It shows how ladybird stands out in the pews of the school church and it shows how she interacts with characters and setting like with her teachers and school. This is one of my favorite films so i definitely am inspired by this style of film for my opening.
