Project Idea

         I'm glad that I'm finally able to share my idea for my film opening project. So as you already know for my project idea I plan on doing a sports comedy film opening. I've only talked about my genre though and not what I actually planned on doing for my project. Since I'm doing a sports comedy film I plan on creating a plot revolved around sports that also gives a nice laugh. You'll know that my opening will be about sports right from the very first scene, and as for the humor I plan on using some physical humor and humor using dialogue. 

           

           

        The opening starts off with an establishing shot on a golf course, this is because the sport I want this to be about is golf. Golf is a very elegant game and if it is not played right it can be humorous to more experienced players. The main character of my film works at a pro shop on a golf course and this is his first job. While working there he sees this very beautiful girl golfer and is dumbfounded. After this, the main character decides to try and learn the game of golf as an attempt that he can create a relationship with the girl. However, the main character has never picked up a golf club in his life and he has no clue what golf is even about. My influence for my film opening comes from the movie Happy Gilmore, even though the opening to Happy Gilmore was a montage of the main characters life.

        I'm mostly settled on this idea but I'm always open to suggestions and tweaks if it means my project could be better. This idea is like my anchor for my opening and I'll be basing my project mostly on it. I'm very excited to be able to see what I can create and I hope that my research of camera shots and angles, from the beginning of the school year, can be shown through the use of my project.
