We decided that we would go with the genre horror (but with a bit of fantasy intertwined). We first of all looked at 'chick flick' and 'horror' and 'comedy' and after looking at other film openings we decided most of our inspiration came from the horror films.
Such chick flick films we looked at were things like 'st trinians' however this film sequence was entirely animated which wouldn't be realistic in our situation.
Another chick flick opening we looked at was the devil wears prada which didn't inspire us as much although the types of shots used were very interesting, the fact that they used many different characters but interlinked them with their common factor was fantastic but other than that we were not encouraged enough.
So then we moved on to looking at comedy film sequences. The first one we looked at was honey i blew up the kids, even though this opener is clearly meant to entertain the audience and make them laugh it still presents the main credits however is also fully animated and out of our range.
As we did further research we decided comedy wasn't the genre for us, just because of the fact we didn't feel that we could do something that extravagant in the time period we had and we needed it to be realistic.
Therefore we started to look in the horror based genre, the type of films that inspired us the most were 'Coraline" and 'holiday'.
Holiday really enthused me to do a horror genre because of the zooming in on excessive human debauchery and its gloriously slovenly consequences, it gave me many ideas of what to work with and what could really make an exciting film sequence.
