Genre Research: All the Bright Places

 

Welcome back to our next and final genre research movie. The movie we chose was All the Bright Places. The first thing we noticed about the opening sequence was the location since they were on a bridge.  The viewers can automatically assume that the bridge has some meaning to one of the main characters since she was standing on it. We want our location to have importance to the opening scene. We want people to be able to guess that the location holds an importance but not exactly what’s going to happen just by seeing the location. Viewers don’t learn the true meaning of the location in the opening sequence however they do learn the meaning of it by the first 10 minutes. Since we’ll only be filming the opening scene we will show the true meaning at the end. The opening scene only was at one location. It did go by fast but however our video will need more time to make sure the point goes through properly. The Mise-en-Scene matched perfectly. The male main character was seen taking a jog and that’s how he came across the female main character. He had on sneakers and clothes he was comfortable in which are appropriate for that activity. The prop he had on also made sense, he was listening to music. I would want to incorporate the clothing and props that make sense to my opening sequence. The opening scene only had the title of the movie. It didn’t include names or anything else. In fact, the title showed up at the end of the opening scene. It started off saying “Netflix Present” and at the end the screen went black, and the only words seen were “All the Bright Places.”  The camera angles also moved and showed different perspectives of the scene. We will not keep the camera at the same spot throughout the scene.
