Research & Reflection.

 To create this movie opening I got inspired from three different movies, taking some aspects and approaches from each one of them and portraying them in my story. 

One of them being the movie "Baby driver":

From this opening I liked all the "robbing" and the driving part, as well as how they played with different sound effects and songs to add some comedy into the scenes. Moreover, I enjoyed how they contrasted the seriousness of going to rob a bank, and the foolish and funny dances the driver was performing, it was kind of absurd but it fitted perfectly, showing the personality of the main character, being much more innocent and funny, but  most importantly the audience can empathize and even like the character even if he is a delinquent. 

However, the parts when they are escaping and driving fast is not going to be in my opening for budget reasons, as well as the part when they are inside the bank fighting and robbing with weapons, that would be pretty much impossible to do and it would be an exact same copy of that opening. What is different from my opening to this one is the fact that all the characters are going to be females and other scenes are going to be added. 

The next movie is called "Italian job":

From this movie opening I loved the car shots they implemented and how they contrasted the pacific environment with all the nice music, with the explosive event. Also, I liked the way they put in all the credits and the movie title, including them with the driving parts, which I am definitely doing that in my opening. I am going to add the credits in the first scene when they are driving to the bank, when the audience is not expecting anything bad to happen, when the environment is chill and they are just driving and enjoying their time. 

I am not going emphasize on the setting like they did in this opening, everything is going to be centered on the inside of the car and how the girls interact with each other. 

The last movie I inspired from is called "Set it off":

This movie opening is very bloody and intense, it shows how they are robbing the bank and killing people, they are a group of black males with weapons threatening to kill everybody if they don't get the money. I got inspired from this scene in the "robbing of a bank" aspect, however, in my opening the robbing part is not going to be explicitly shown, the audience is going to infer it from different shots and sound effects.
