Having been told my film opening may be too long, I took a hard look at my project and have tried to determine whether or not I should cut, shorten, or completely scrap my idea before I go into production. After doing some research by watching some film openings from the crime and mystery films Golden Onion, and Knives out I determined that rather than cutting out or scrapping my idea I would condense my scenes instead. I feel that the amount of scenes I have can definitely be made to be under 2 minutes with some clever camera techniques that show the whole picture and speed up the process. For example, for the investigation scene where they are looking at the murder victim, instead of using multiple cuts to look at the different parts of the body I could use a couple medium shots making it more effective as well as quicker to get to the point. I am still looking at some scenes to condense but am planning to have my planning done by tomorrow so going into week 5 I can start my script and start production.
