For the research, I am looking up the basic information needed to create a basic film opening. Since I haven't necessarily picked a topic/genre yet researching multiple genres until I am certain of what genre and topic I would want to do.
Using the website: https://www.theeagleonline.com/article/2024/05/scenes-that-stick-three-of-cinemas-most-effective-iconic-and-mesmerizing-opening-scenes
This web gives lots of info on what makes a film opening good and they can even become iconic. That way is through innovation, for it be iconic it also has to be a first of something. This is what I plan on doing, making a first inside the film world. Although unorthodox, and maybe cringe??? I am certain I will have a good time creating this.
As for the idea I have right now; well, wasn't actually thought of during this school and is actually something I've been working on since 2021 as a passion project (Most likely going to be a book since I can't draw) is a series called Crowned Zenith, a therian based world, in a super samurai society (takes place in most of Asia) (Therian- Animal and Human hybrids) where holy creatures "invade" ( It was theirs to begin with til humans overtook it) Earth and deem human efforts futile. Most characters are based of dinosaurs (obviously : ) ) and holy creatures. I know this sounds really corny but I enjoy it.
Some design outlines and plot themes are taken from other forms of media, such as books and tv shows.
