In the opening of my film, I want to make sure the audience can immediately understand who the two characters are so that they can understand the message behind this piece.
I introduce the protagonist as a regular corporate "slave". He arrives home to what appears to be the normal environment. This moment of calm allows the audience to see him as an ordinary and relatable person before the suspense starts. However, when he notices the door is open, his reaction immediately shows the brave aspects of his personality. Instead of running away, he investigates the house while holding an umbrella for protection. This shows that although he is nervous, he is also curious and brave.
The intruder scene plays a major role in shaping the tone of the film to comedy. When the friend jumps out, the audience experiences relief and humor, but this moment also establishes the dynamic between the two characters. Their interaction suggests a comfortable and playful friendship, suggesting that relationships will be important for the film.
My goal with this opening is to present characters that feel authentic and relatable so that audiences become invested early on. By mixing the moment of suspense with humor and friendship, I will be able to introduce key personality traits of the character. This ensures that the audience completely understands the purpose of my opening.
