To create our intro to a coming-of-age film, we will need a strong opening scene to introduce our character. We can use visuals and small details, which is more effective then repetitive dialogue. We need to demonstrate their personality immediately, such as in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, when he is shown faking sick to his parents. This shows what type of character he is.
To make the scene feel more authentic, our group will focus on lighting and mise-en-scène. We would want these to align with our characters personality. For example, if we wanted out character to feel careless and energetic, we can include handheld shots and natural lighting, such as in the movie Boyhood. For the mise-en-scène, it would reflect out character's nature. If our character is lazy, they could have a messy room with papers everywhere, or have a room filled with posters if they are a teenager.
How lighting is used to enhance a scene
Music also plays a key role in setting the mood. The song chosen will needed to fit the main character's emotions. If the character is excited, we could include a fast, upbeat song, which could highlight a positive tone. Also, we believe that some scenes can benefit from a lack of audio. If the character is deep in thought or sad, having no music could make the scene more powerful, by demonstrating the emotional connection to the character.
By including all of these elements, we hope to create a movie intro that will grab the viewers attention into the main character's world. We want the views to instantly click with the character, and be hooked on the movie.
