Reflecting / Title

 I'm back! So I have been reflecting a bit and watching many film openings to try and identify what will be going on and to apply that to mine. 

One that caught my eye is The Summer I turned Pretty. LINK I like how all of the vibes and themes are developed and I really got to know more in debt of the characters and what is going on and who the main character is. (Belly) The star of the show has the most screen time which I plan to incorporate into my film as well.

For my title I was also inspired by The Summer I turned pretty.

Since I plan on filming as a beachy and adventurous summer movie, I also want to incorporate the ocean into it. Not only because I like it but also because I intend to have deeper meaning to why the ocean is important in my film.

 I want to do something related to a shipwreck or a loss at sea mystery to lead the viewers on to "wanting to watch more of it" to see what will happen. I think it is a good way to catch their attention and it also has significance and is not only there just for the looks. 

I also found an old film I used to like when I was younger called Mako mermaids. I remembered how they incorporated the ocean and tail in the title because it also has deeper meaning later on in the film.

Although as cringe as it is, LINK the film opening included lots of hints as to what will go on later on and build suspense and lead the viewers to guess what can possibly go wrong.

I will intend on including some key events in the opening and I think it reflects on the characters as well in the personality shown when I introduce them in scenes. The 3 actors that appear above the title are the main characters and they end up being best friends. Which was hinted from the beginning.
