Ideas for my two minutes Opening Sequence Film

I have been thinking of my film opening sequence, and decided to look through couple of opening sequences on Youtube also looked at the different types of film genres preferred by people with the help of my survey. From the information I gathered, young adults prefer watching Romance, Fantasy,Horror, Action,Comedy movies.

I decided to write down a list of my favorite films, hopping to be able to find out my favorite Genres of films I prefer to be able to come up with the kind of genre film I want my two minutes film to be about .


This is a list of my favorite films:

1.Love & Basketball ( Romance,Drama)

2.The Proposal (Comedy,Romance)

3.Life As We Know It (Comedy,Romance)

4.The Way She Moves (Drama,Musical,Romance)

5.His just not that into you (Comedy,Romance)

6.Keith( Drama, Romance)

7.Honey (Drama,Musical,Romance)

8.Twilight ( Drama,Romance)

9.Saved (Comedy)

10. Why Did I Get Married (Romance,Drama,Comedy)

Looking at my list of my favorite film, I have realized that I am more into Romance,Comedy,Drama,Musical type of films, so I have decided that for my 2 minutes video I am going to do a mixed of genres between Romance,Drama and Musical. 

As we have been advised to avoid : 

Stalker following a woman in the woods 

People tied up and trapped in rooms 

Waking up, brushing teeth,getting ready 

People playing cards

Flashbacks,flash-forwards

Person sticking knifes, pins into pictures

Linking to the fact that we have been asked to avoid the list above, I looked through couple of my favorite opening sequence, which I think may help me in my 2 minutes film, making sure that I avoided to look for opening sequence which contains the list above.

1.Freestyle

2.You got served 

3.Love Jones 

6.Keith ( couldn't get the link)

7.Honey :  

With the help of my survey, and the list of my favorite movies and opening sequence I have been able to get an idea of how my opening sequence would be like, something pretty much like this

Freestyle movie : 

I really love and enjoy watching this movie because it has all my favorite genres in it, Romance,Sport, a little bit of Drama ad musical, and I really like the opening sequence, the editing techniques as we see fast cuts used to show the different characters showing their different lifestyles , the female practicing her ballet dance and the male character playing street basketball with a group of boys, this already gives us an idea of the two characters, the female character appears to be a very posh and polite girl leaving in the rich girl life and the male character appears to be a hood rat, who does nothing else but play basketball with his group. Although they both have different lifestyles  they end up catching eye with each other and fall in love. 

With the help of this movie opening sequence I have been able to come up with my own opening sequence, which is going to be almost the same thing as the Freestyle movie but mine is going to be about a street dancer who catches eye for a girl in his neighborhood,but gets disappointed when he realizes that him and the girl have different lifestyles and different way of living.
