Setting the tone

     Filming is starting soon, so I have started researching camera shot and angle techniques. In the website https://filmlifestyle.com/what-are-opening-shots/ I learned a variety of ways I can use different techniques to elevate the opening. The first technique I learned is an opening sequence. This is a short scene that introduces the general plot to the audience and typically features large text. 


    Next shot I researched was the effect of the opening shot. The opening shot defines what is to come during the film. Having a iconic opening shot is a good way to hook the viewers as well as foreshadow. In this video https://youtu.be/ACN3dw-ywAU I learned how the establishing shot in an opening can define the tone. In the Transformers dark of the moon by Michael Bay, we see a distance shot of a space shuttle. The camera quickly zooms paired with the action themed music setting the epic tone.



 In my opening I plan to incorporate this tactic of setting the tone by implementing mysteries and crime music. We will use this music because the plot of our movie is a FBI agent attempting to catch a mysteries gangster.
