Planning - Opening credits #22

 

For the opening credits of our film..

The original idea is to have two young girls playing in the park, portraying the two girls, Jasmin and Sofia, as childhood friends who grew up together.

We first take pictures of the girls from different angles of them playing in the park to see what best establishes the opening of friendship and joy.

These photos show the different actions we may incorporate in the opening credits to add onto the story while still having a memorable scene, while establishing the tone of first innocent and then uncertain as credits are being given.

These show the two young girls who play as Jasmin and Sofia, with Sofia being the older one, and showing the friendship and bond between the two.

The end of the opening will show two empty swings swinging as it establishes an eerie and unsettling tone of mystery.

Reflection

Planning the opening credits helped us clearly introduce the relationship between Jasmin and Sofia. Showing them as young girls playing in the park establishes their friendship and creates a happy, innocent tone at the start. Taking photos from different angles helped us choose the best shots to make the scene memorable and meaningful while the credits play.

As the opening continues, the tone slowly becomes more uncertain, which prepares the audience for the darker themes of the film. Ending with the empty swings creates an eerie and mysterious feeling, making the opening more impactful and engaging.
