Researching Other Films

During our research, we found many examples of intros from other films to be of great use. For our opening, we wanted to show that the main character was arriving from out of town. We looked to the movie "Die Hard" as a perfect example. In the intro of "Die Hard", the sound of jet engines and a mid shot of a plane landing is seen. We took inspiration from this scene as our intro included a shot of a plane landing at Tampa International Airport. Another idea we researched was a way of clarifying the point of the film to the audience. In the intro of "Pulp Fiction", a definition of what pulp fiction is pops up on the screen. We considered including the text "The hunt for love" in the credits to have the same effect as the example seen in Pulp Fiction. However, we ended up not including this as we believed that audience would be able to gain their own understanding. We also ended up having the credits run through the entirety of the film as it is the opening of what is supposed to be a much longer film.
