Before starting a film opening, everyone has to come up with their plot, and what specifics will be in that plot. But even before that, any producer/director must know what genre their film will be based around, and that's exactly what we figured out first.
A genre is a style of film that is based around a particular set of characteristics.The two of us have had always had an interest for sports, so we decided to come up with a film opening based around sports. Now knowing of that, we decided that we should add more to the film. Sports are usually sub-genres in films, so we decided to look into what kind of genres have had success with sports story lines. When looking at the top grossing sports films since 1976, a large percentage of the films contained either comedy or drama genres. We knew comedy wasn't really our thing, especially from a production standpoint, so we decided that a drama film would be a great fit for us, especially considering the fact that a good film opening should be able to move the audience, and dramas do exactly that from an emotional standpoint. Dramas present realistic characters, behavior, and story lines, and we feel that incorporating these characteristics with a sports film would give our audience a great feel for the story throughout the film.
We haven't developed our plot yet, but we have a couple of ideas, so as we continue on with our brainstorming and research, those ideas will develop.
