Beginning to film 2

Image
 This week while on top of filming I bought this costume for my friend the main character to wear. I think it will be perfect and funny because I got it in a smaller size so its gonna look like his little brother outfit. My inspiration on this movie opener is dumber and dumber cause that's the kind of vibe I want. This is the car my friend is going to be using considering the face it looks more like a sports car and less like a funny car like my friends. I think the side by side comparison is going to be funny.

Dear Lover: The audience hears pleasant music, which is followed by a display of the romance between the two characters. After that, a voice over is introduced, which further ties the audience to the characters. The audience is left wanting more at the conclusion. Dare to Thrill: The piece starts out with a lot of daring action and thoughtful music placement. The point and actions, however, get convoluted and confusing as the video proceeds. A suspenseful video with a lot of exposition for an introductory scene. There are a number of close-up photographs of the characters as well. White Coat: The video begins with a succession of quick cuts that convey the character's personal befuddlement. This opener does a fantastic job at g...
