Deciding on the genre for my film opening was somewhat of a difficult choice. On the one hand, I wanted to make a 'Post-Apocalyptic' movie opening with a really strong atmospheric value. However, on the other hand, I was conscious of the potential complexity of such a genre, and so I considered other genres which I thought might be simpler.
I considered creating a generic 'Action' movie opening, focussing on a team of highly skilled individuals breaking into a complex, then an apparent problem presenting itself. I also considered making a 'Sci-Fi' scene and, whilst this would also be somewhat complex, the level of complexity could potentially be significantly lower than that of the 'Post-Apocalyptic' genre. The 'Sci-Fi' scene would have involved a 3D animated space battle/setting. Finally, I considered going with somewhat of a 'Musical' genre, after being inspired by how terrible 'Les Miserables' is I thought about trying to making a decent 'Musical' scene. Had I chosen this genre, I most likely would have tried to create a "light-hearted" 'Rock Musical' focussing mainly on the guitars.
Ultimately though, I decided to go with the 'Post-Apocalyptic' genre as it is truly what I WANT to make the most, and will be the most passionate about, which is something that I consider to be important with film-making. I did, however, try to simplify my idea for the opening and to some extent, I did.
