Today we have finally began the portfolio project. I decided to research about film openings that establish the background and film openings that establish conflicts. When we watched example film openings in class I was extremely intrigued by the film opening that established the background. The world was entirely changed and it really caught my eye. I know all about establishing conflict because I have watched Star Wars which main idea is the conflict between good and evil.
Establishing setting is a key aspect in some cases such as Home Alone one of my favorite movies as a kid. This choice was essential for this film because the whole movie is centered around the fact that Kevin is left by his family at home, while they go on vacation. The setting may also establish how the world is in that time, for example in Star Wars opens while showing that this is a different planet than Earth and it is clearly indicated.
Establishing conflict is also very important, for example in the movie Southpaw the main character wife dies and it is clearly understood that the entire movie will be centered around how he deals with that conflict. Establishing conflict is a key part in many action movies as well because it shows why the heroes may be pursuing a certain thing.
