Visuals!

 I have so many different inspirations for my film opening. I want my opening to feel as real as it can be but i also want to focus on aestheics and formalism. I want my opening to look very pleasing to the eye and i want for the characters, the props and the set to match the aesthetic i thrive for.

some of my inspirations for the aesthetic feel of my opening is work from directors like Sofia Coppola, Greta Gerwig and Wes Anderson. Sofia gas said before that she focuses alot on what she is going to put on the screen like what props and how she is going to place them to make it look pleasing. Greta Gerwig is my inspiration due to her film Ladybird. Ladybird is one of the best and well made coming of age movies, it is very relatable and such a good watch. Wes Andersons films are just so unique and beautifully made. I want my film to look impactful. I want my main character, Maya, to look real. OI want this film opening to set the ton for the rest of the film.

Some example scenes from these directors (and other films)

The Virgin Suicides (1999) Directed by Sofia Coppola

The Bling Ring (2013) Directed By Sofia Coppola

Ladybird (2017) Directed by Greta Gerwig

Moonrise Kingdom (2012) Directed By Wes Anderson

Since my opening is going to be focusing on the visual appeal i want the aesthetic to show through. I wan to show a story and tell it. I love single close up scenes like the ones in The Virgin suicides. I love how plain but beautiful it is. How human it is. I want my characters background to show her personality, like how Ladybirds room shows us what type of person she is. Messy but fun. Same thing with the bling ring examples. The room seems plain but it seems real and personal.
